Celebrating Baby Kaylee - Mia Rose Cake

Sorry this picture is sideways.  I've tried EVERYTHING to get it right side up!!!!!!!!  I made this cake for one of my BEST friends baby shower.  She is expecting her first child (Kaylee) and I was blessed enough to be asked to make the cake!!!!!!  Her shower theme was . . . you guessed it pink and brown.  So I chose to base her cake off of her baby bedding CoCaLo Mia Rose
The top tier was a 4" cake which I made from pound cake.  The middle tier was strawberry cake with a chocolate mousse filling.  While the bottom was death by chocolate, dark chocolate cake with chocolate mousse.  All the layers were iced in chocolate butter cream.  The 3 tiers are covered and decorated in fondant.  The pink fondant is strawberry MMF and the brown fondant is chocolate MMF.  The name plate, butterflies and middle tier were all hand painted.  I had SO much fun with this cake, it's the first one in a while that I haven't had any instructions and got to just design and go.
