Baby Shower Pink

Last weekend, I made two 9" cakes to take part in a dessert shower (the very best kind of party, I think) for a coming baby girl. The first, with a vines and leaves pattern, is a light vanilla bean cake with the wonderfully rich and tart lemon cream filling, iced in a light lemon buttercream.

The second cake is a deep dark double chocolate cake iced and filled with a rich chocolate ganache.

Boys might be great fun, but I will always love the sweet and delicate touches that accompany treats for little girls. Now, who wants a full tray of petit fours?
