Momma & Baby Bear Cake

There is something special when you see a momma and baby bear together. It is the inspiration of our baby shower cake.

Using decorated sugar cookies to accent the cake made this cake a special gift to the mom and dad to be.

The color scheme can be your choice. We used blue, brown and green with edible accents.
