Hues of blue baby shower cake In this cake recipe, you need 1 cup buttermilk; if you don’t have any buttermilk on hand, you can easily use 1 cup whole milk mixed with 1 Tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar to make your own.

To assemble your cake, lay out your cake and your serving platter. Cut off approximately ¼ of two cupcakes using a circle cutter to use the cupcakes as feet. In the stand mixer bowl fitted with a paddle attachment, stir together the all-purpose flour, milk cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. For visual learners, like myself, I have also made a video tutorial that you can see here or keep scrolling to the end for easy watching! I’ll show you how to make simple fondant decorations for the features of the teddy bear and use a small star piping tip to make the buttercream fur.
The accent pieces (eyes, muzzle, mouth, and ears) are all made from homemade fondant. I would definitely use gumpaste for these next time, especially for the ears, as it dries harder. My fondant was too soft, soI had to createlittle cardboard supports for the ears so that they wouldn’t flop down.
A single batch of this cake recipe makes three, 6-inch round cake layers or two 8-inch round cake layers. Double the cake recipe to make enough cake batter for three, 8-inch cake layers.
I highly recommend making the cake taller, so when you are creating the face of the teddy bear, it's in portion to everything else. If you are in a rush for time or you would like to break up the decorating, then make the fondant decorations the day before, so the fondant has plenty of time to dry. Use a round cutter to cut curved sections from two of the cupcakes. These will end up being placed on the head for ears. Save any scraps for use later. There are so many different ways you can go about creating the face for your teddy bear, you can simply dye your frosting and pipe the entire face so that it comes out just how you want it. Or you can buy candy eyes and noses for your bear from your local craft store.
