Millie:  Thanks for the compliment.  With fondant, I covered one cavity of a Wilton Doll Mold Cake pan (covered with plastic wrap) to shape the bassinet hood.  I let that dry pretty firmly and then, using royal icing and #47 basketweave tip, piped on the stripes.  For bassinet base, I used a 7" oval cake, cut down slightly to fit bassinet hood, and lightly frosted with buttercream.  I then rolled strips of fondant and placed around the cake to create the skirt drapes.  I then covered entire cake with fondant.  I made a fondant pillow, modeled babies head from fondant (I think I painted on hair & eyes, and used a half circle tool to sculpt mouth and painted in).  For body, just did a log shape and covered with a fondant blanket.  Then piped buttercream beads and applied dried fondant bows to finish.
