Add in the coloring of your choice along with dry ingredients.  Mix on low speed until just combined.<\/p>\n<p>Split the mixture between a lined and greased tray, 8&#8243; round cake tin and an 8&#8243; bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Bake in the oven, cooking times will vary with the bowl being ready first.<\/p>\n<p>600g (21.16 ounces) red fondant<br \/>\n200g (7.05 ounces) skin tone of your choice<br \/>\n1 cup candy<br \/>\n150g (5.29 ounces) white chocolate<br \/>\nacetate or chocolate transfer sheet<br \/>\nlace texture mat (optional)<\/p>\n<p>Following the directions on the video make a chocolate ring and circle lid.<\/p>\n<p>Once the cake is baked and cooled level and trim off the edges.  <\/p>\n<p>Mix up a batch of buttercream and color it to the same blue as the cake.<\/p>\n<p>Using a cookie cutter cut a hole in the center of the round cake.  Add the ring of cake on top of the tray cake and cut the hole through to the cake board.<br \/>\nUsing some buttercream secure the ring of cake into place.<\/p>\n<p>Then place the two little circles on top and trim the top of the cake.  Trim down and around shaping the sides of the cake.  Cut another circle from the left over top piece and add it to tray cake circle to even them up.  Now cut two smaller circles and place them on top.<\/p>\n<p>Layer all those pieces using buttercream then shape following the directions in the video.<\/p>\n<p>Add the chocolate circle into the center of the belly and fill it up with blue or pink candy.  And add your chocolate circle on top like a lid.  Cover it in buttercream and add the bowl cake on top for the rounded belly.<\/p>\n<p>Cover the whole cake in buttercream spreading a little down the bottom edge towards the cake board so the dress will come down smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>Roll out some fondant for the skin and make one edge really thin so that we don&#8217;t get a line along the tummy.<\/p>\n<p>Place the fondant over the top and lift and smooth it down the edges.  Trim close to the cake but not too close, you don&#8217;t want to see blue footing peeping out.<\/p>\n<p>Make the dress out of red fondant using the directions in the video.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P2210633-550x413.jpg\" alt=\"pregnant belly cake ann reardon\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-48319\" data-wp-pid=\"48319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P2210633-550x413.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P2210633-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P2210633-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P2210633-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><h7 class=\"updated\">Copyright \u00a9 2016 Reardon Media Pty Ltd.
