Barb and Todd Stunzi are expecting their first little one on April 13.  The girls in our Dinner group were very excited to throw her a shower, so I jumped at the opportunity to do the cake.  The owl on the cake came from Carter's Forest Friends, which is the theme in Baby Stunzi's nursery.  Also, I finally got to explore making edible pine cones to decorate along side of the cake.  The pine cones are made from marzipan, almond slices, and melted chocolate.  The pine cones were a bit difficult and turned out a bit squaty, but I'm happy I finally got to try to make them.  Nick was a big help and made the cake for me on his Friday off.  He did a great job and dyed the bottom layer with blue and green and the top layer with pink and yellow, so the cake was a lot of fun to cut into and celebrated not knowing whether the new Stunzi is a boy or a girl.
