Although I first saw this cake used for a baby shower, I thought it was just too cute not to try myself! I simply had to start by frosting an 8" round cake in light blue buttercream. Then, I added 1.25" strips of brown fondant to the sides to create the barrel; if I were to recreate this cake, I would use much thinner strips to create the illusion of a taller barrel. To complete the cake, I merely added two rubber ducks (purchased at Walmart for 50¢) and small blue bubbles crafted from fondant.
This cake was extremely simple and quite the hit at work! Plus, the evenly-sized strips of brown fondant along the sides made cutting the cake a breeze!

Adorable! This would be a great cake for a baby shower too.
That cake is freaking adorable. Please come to Texas next April to make Ellie's cake :)
WOW! Your cakes ROCK! I just made my daughters 3rd birthday cake (nothing like yours) and was complaining to my sister Holly about it when she told me to come check out your awesome cakes. I am very impressed and maybe a little inspired to practice a little more.
