Expectant Nurse Cake

Recently I did a baby shower cake for a lady who had just completed nursing school. The cake turned out as the husband so kindly put it "just as I imagined it"! I was so pleased with the result. It featured a hand molded expectant nurse made of gum paste. Yes, that nurse is 100% hand molded along with her clipboard and nurse's bag. She is sitting on top of a 6" round almond flavored cake with buttercream icing. There were 50 cupcakes below her. 25 of them were red velvet with cream cheese icing, and 25 of them were lemon with buttercream icing. They were each topped with an freehand flower. Put all together, it turned out to be one of my favorite cakes so far! Here are a couple of pictures to enjoy...
