Face may also be made with thinned-down, royal icing. Drop small amounts onto waxed paper to form raised balls. When dry add the royal icing hair and facial features. The thread is cut and a molded baby face is placed in the center of the flower and glued in place with royal icing. The cake is frosted with buttercream.
Wafer paper is used for the pattern to look like wrapping paper.
First, draw a pattern and trace it on the wafer paper and color with food color pens. Cut out and slightly dampen to soften so pieces can bend over the edge of the cake for a more realistis look. Glue pieces on with buttercream. The greeting card is also made from wafer paper. A ruffle was made by dampening the edge and molding the ruffle with your finger tips.
