My favorite cake I've done so far, this is for a baby shower for a very sweet family. I call it "Nesting" I made all 3 family members into birds and then the egg "baby". All waiting patiently for it to hatch. I also made bird nest cupcakes with baby birds on them to go around the bottom of the cake. 

The cupcakes were dark choc.(gluten free)  and the bottom layer was choc. with dark choc. decaff. espresso gauche filling, the top was a lemon poppy-seed cake with vanilla buttercream filling.
