Pete & Marti's New Grandparents Shower Cake

Pete and Marti are grandparents. They live quite a ways from their new grand-daughter and were so excited about her arrival that Nana decided to throw them a "New Grandparents" shower.

The cake was a chocolate-vanilla swirl pound cake with chocolate buttercream filling. For this cake I learned how to make the gumpaste box top, worked again at trying to cover round cake with fondant, and transported it in the car (with the kids) 2.5 hours to the party. It ended up super cute and without a scratch on it.

Congratulations to Pete & Marti on the new grandbaby, Kera Grace!
