I made this cake for a friend of mine who is also expecting her second baby. It's a chocolate mousse cake with coconut buttercream icing and topped with chocolate ganache. The silhouette is done with a frozen buttercream transfer.
I'd never been to a blessingway before, so I really had no idea what to expect. It ended up being the neatest shower I'd ever been to. It was just so empowering for my friend, and anyone who's been through childbirth. We all brought food and talked about what we'd brought and what we wanted it to represent for the baby-to-be's life. (My lovely cake was there because my friend had asked for it, but also because it represented richness and decadence, and who can't use some of that, right?!) We also created a web with ribbons, and each of us will wear the ribbon around our wrists until after the baby is born. It was truly a heartwarming experience.
