Quilted Buttercream Wedding Cake

Hi all! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!! This little number is a quilted wedding cake I delivered to the Sheraton Read House some time ago. The happy couple wanted a cute quilted pattern, but they were not especially fond of fondant. Haha... challenge time! I iced the cake nice and smooth and then, armed with only a 36-60-90 ruler and a hot spatula, I set out cutting facets into the surface of the buttercream. By cutting the "V" shape, it really made the pattern stand out quite well. There was a little math involved to get everything just so, but then there's always that, right?

This week is crazy so I'm keeping this post short. I have an upside-down groom's cake booked for the weekend, so there's a ton of prep work to do!

Toodles!

Double Chocolate

Pesanan mbak Heni di Cilangkap untuk diantar ke Bukit Modern (Modern Hill), Pondok Cabe. Cake ukuran 22x22cm, full chocolate. Tapi biar gak terlalu monoton, aku kasih strawberry di pinggirnya. Mbak Heni minta ada tulisan "Selamat Tahun Baru", tapi maaf jadi "happy New Year", untuk menghemat tempat hehehe.... Maaf ya mbak...
















Oiya, satu lagi, maaf kalo penulisan namanya salah. Cake ini aku kirim pakai kartu juga. Terima kasih banyak ya mbak Heni, udah mempercayakan ke aku, walaupun belum pernah pesan sebelumnya dan belum pernah ketemu. Semoga berkenan dengan kuenya....

Merry Christmas from Cup a Dee Cakes!

Hi all! First off, I hope you all are having a very Merry Christmas! I woke up early to find that jolly ol' Saint Nick left me some real treats under the tree! I don't know if I was THAT good!

This wedding cake goes along with the groom's cake from the last post. The Chattanoogan ballroom was decked out in full holiday trim and I thought putting the cake in front of the Christmas tree would really make it pop!

This cake is an elegant buttercream cake covered in buttercream dots, along with edible pearls and gold dragees. Te couple opted for cream cheese icing, which is SO tasty, but it weighs a TON! This was easily the heaviest wedding cake we have ever delivered in one piece.

The bride came up with the lights and the christmas ornaments that surrounded the cake. It was really a beautiful event!

A Groom's Interests

This weekend I did a couple of cakes at The Chattanoogan hotel in Chattanooga, TN. This was a groom's cake and in it, the couple wanted to really showcase the groom's interests.

This groom was really into reading, fly fishing, and the Carson Newman Eagles football (his alma mater). We decided to incorporate each of these items into the design.

This was my first "stacked book" cake. I was SO glad that I didn't attempt this BEFORE finding out about modeling chocolate. It made it SO much easier to make the book covers and the pages.

This was also my first helmet cake. I actually went out and bought a helmet for reference. And I was glad I did! It really helped me capture the shape and the spirit of the helmet where I think a picture just wouldn't have cut it.

Merry Christmas to all the readers of my blog. I have discovered so many wonderful friends and ideas through my blogging and I feel really good when I do share with you, so expect more in the future!

UPDATE: I just heard back from the event manager at the Chattanoogan and he said that the photographer couldn't find the groom's cake to take photos of it. Not because it was missing, but because he didn't think it was cake!! Event staff kept telling him it was the books and helmet and he kept yelling back "There's no cake around the books and helmet!" AWESOME!

Character Cupcake (Mickey, Pooh & Thomas)

Cupcake ini pesanan mbak Heni di Serpong, dulu pernah pesan cookies nama. Mintanya cupcake dengan karakter kartun, dan maunya mickey sama snowy (anjing putih). Akhirnya aku tawarin Mickey, Pooh, Thomas dan Snowy.


























Buat Pooh, Snowy dan Thomas lancar2 aja, yang agak ribet buat si Mickey. Jadi minta maaf buat mbak Heni, kalo Mickey-nya agak2 gak mirip gitu ^_^.

Cupcake Thank You

Pesanan mbak Dina di Sudirman, minta dibuatin cupcake tulisan "Thank You". Minta diantar hari Selasa, 15 Desember.

Cuma ada sedikit masalah, pas udah diantar ke kantor mbak Dina, sampai sana katanya kuenya pada hancur, terbalik dan fondantnya lepas. Waduh....ini baru pertama kali terjadi, selama ini aku selalu sok perfect, yang pengen semua berjalan lancar tapi kok sekarang malah gini ya....? Aku tanya kurirnya, katanya sampai sana oke kok, tapi kenapa bisa gitu ya? Cuma ya aku kan gak bisa berbuat apa2 ya...?















Maaf banget ya mbak Dina, aku bener2 nyesel banget deh. Semoga kejadian seperti ini nggak terulang lagi ya...

Beautiful Cakes, Beautiful Pictures

Last December, Chad and I made a New Year's Resolution to learn more about photography and to take better pictures of our cakes. We bought a better camera (a Nikon D60), watched several Magic Lantern instructional DVDs, and practiced by taking hundreds and hundreds of shots, sometimes of just one cake!

But sometimes things just work out, the planets just line up perfectly... beautiful cake, great location, and ideal camera settings. When we went back to look at these pictures on the camera we were very pleasantly surprised with the results.

This cake was all buttercream, decorated with just the couple's monogram and a fresh flower bouquet. My awesome brother made another of his soon-to-be-famous stands (since I couldn't find any hexagonal stands) and the location, the mother of the bride's house, was very elegant.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Castle Cake

Castle Cake ini pesanan malaikat kecil, Ghina, yang minta dibuatin kue ulang tahun bentuk istana dan diatasnya kasih boneka Aurora.

Karena mintanya dadakan dan hanya buat sendiri, jadi kuenya dibuat agak kecil. Yang bawah ukuran 22x22cm, yang atas diameter 18 cm. Warna castle-nya nuansa putih & pink. untuk pinggirnya tadinya mau dikasih pilar2, tapi ternyata aku nggak punya cone es krim, mau buat dari kue kok udah mepet waktunya. Akhirnya tanya sama pemesan kecil, "nggak papa2 gak dikasih pilar yang besar, bikin aja dari fondant buat pinggirnya". Oke, honey! You're the best!!

Akhirnya jadi juga kue ulang tahun untuk Ghina. 'Met ultah ya, semoga jadi anak sholehah, anak yang pandai, berhati mulia, sayang sama keluarga dan teman2, dan yang pasti selalu nurut sama Ayah dan Ibu. Amin.




















Fotonya agak diblur latarnya, karena dasar bawahnya agak jelek ^_^

Sudah Lama Tidak Update Blog

Sudah lama banget nggak update blog nih. Pertama karena belum sempat banget, kedua waktu hujan pertama mengguyur Pondok Cabe, kebetulan petir kencang banget dan menyambar modem internet & imbasnya kena deh komputer aku. Jadi sempat rusak lama, harus service komputer dulu baru minta modem baru sama provider langganan.

Mohon maaf kalau ada yang fotonya tidak sempat ter-update, karena banyak foto2 yang hilang dari komputer. Insya Allah mulai sekarang mulai rajin nge-blog lagi. Amin.

Terima kasih ya buat yang masih sering berkunjung ke blog aku & masih setia pesan sama aku. Insya Allah aku akan selalu memberikan yang terbaik buat semua pelanggan. Terima kasih....^_^

Candy Cake!

There's something just really fun about decorating a cake with candy, right? I think that's why I have always wanted to make gingerbread houses. Occasionally, I get to make a birthday cake where candy is the main theme.

I enjoy selecting the candies and thinking about the different and creative ways I can use them. The "8" is lined with gummy bears on both sides of gumpaste. I thought it turned out really cute! I spent a good searching through the bulk candy bins at The Fresh Market to find just what I wanted!

I did have a bit of a problem with the Twizzlers and Rainbow sour strips not wanting to stick. A little extra buttercream wrangled them in though!

As always, thanks for stopping by and check back on Friday for our next installment. I promise it will be a wedding cake!

Are you ready for some Football Cake?

I must admit that I'm not a big football fan, but I am very proud of the way this cake turned out! I made this cake some time ago for Mitchell, who is 1/3 of a set of very sweet 8 year-old triplets.

The cake "field" is mostly buttercream, but I covered the football in fondant for a more realistic look. I made the 8 out of gumpaste and embedded wire so that it would slip into the cake very easily.

I hope you enjoy seeing birthday cakes here as well as wedding cakes.

Enjoy your weekend and don't forget... only 2 weeks until Christmas! Let's finish up those last minute gifts!!!

Vendor Spotlight: Lindsay Street Hall

Last night Chad and I visited Lindsay Street Hall in Chattanooga, TN. It's located right beside Bessie Smith Hall at 901 Lindsay Street. The Crisps have spent the last 3 years renovating the 100 year old church and it is absolutely gorgeous. It would make a wonderfully sweet location to get married!!

Besides hosting traditional events, they also feature musicians several times throughout the week. Last night was jazz night and they were really swingin'! Thursdays are singer-songwriter nights and every other Sunday they host "Pickin' in the Pulpit". $15 gets you brunch and some great local bluegrass talent. They even have a cash bar. The next one is on December 20. starting at Noon. Don't be surprised if you see us there!

For more information give them a call at 423-755-9111 or check out their Facebook page.

Rubber Ducky Cake

Henry was another recipient of one of our awesome cakes. Henry was turning the big "Oh One" (01) and really like his rubber ducks. So we built him a cake with rubber duckies on it. We used ducky chocolate molds to make all the ducks and painted on the details with petal dusts. The cake was mostly buttercream, with fondant accents (like the dots, the waves, the border, and the letters). The "soap bubbles" were all piped buttercream dots. I thought the effect turned out very nicely.

As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

The World is in your Grasp, Kaben!

I met Kaben's Mom at a bridal show recently and the first words out of her mouth was that "her son was a rock star!". Man, she wasn't kidding either! Kaben was turning one and her Mom, Tara (owner of A Silverware Affair), was very specific about the cake she wanted for her son. She wanted a cake that reflected the feeling that the world was within his reach and that all the world was his oyster (lower left hand corner of the cake).


I must admit that my "globe" is non-edible... it's a styromfoam ball covered with fondant with royal icing continents.

This cake also features another of my brother's awesome cake stands. This stand features acrylic walls and is waterproof, so it's the perfect fish tank that also holds your cake. There is a battery operated LED light in the lid that lights the whole thing up. It's very cool and Kaben seems to really enjoy it.

Wedding Alternative - The Cannoli Tree

From time to time I get a bride that's looking for something different; an alternative for those that just don't care for cake (GASP!) or just want something completely outside the box. Some opt for a cupcake tree. This couple still wanted the traditional wedding cake (see the little basket weave number in the background) but wanted something special on their wedding day. The groom was a HUGE fan of cannolies so we made up a few hundred of them and put them on our cupcake tree stand. We lined the platters with mini chocolate chips which along with being super tasty, also helped cradle the cannolies. A small 6 inch cake was the topper with a little ceramic "just married" car the bride and groom provided. The couple was very happy with their cannoli tree

Gumpaste Iris Wedding Cake

A few months back, I met with a bride that wanted a very natural cake with ferns, fiddle heads, and irises. I had never made gum paste irises, so I started looking online. All of the so-called "irises" really looked nothing like the irises my bride wanted. I decided that my only recourse was to make my own. I got out my Nicholas Lodge DVD and started making notes. Several days later I had a bunch of the little suckers made up. I was pleased with the results!

We delivered this little beauty to the Black Bear Cove Resort in Benton, TN. The setting was very rustic and natural and the cake really fit in with the decor.

Football and Cheerleader Cake

I recently did a cake for a football player and a cheerleader that were both celebrating their 16th birthday. I have been working on my figure modeling skills, so I got out my Debbie Brown book, my modeling chocolate and I went to town making those little cuties! I had such a blast making this cake and was even more stoked when my customer asked me if I might possibly blog about it! I enjoy writing and I really enjoy getting comments and followers, but to have someone request that their cake be blogged about was exciting!!

Thanks to everyone for reading and I hope you all have a great weekend!

Cup a Dee Cakes - Celebrity Edition!

I know it seems like I have been slacking lately, but actually we have been covered up at the bakery! In fact, I can barely find time to hobnob with some of my favorite folks. A few weeks back I spent a couple of days with the Amazing Mike McCarey. Mike opened my eyes to the wonderful world of modeling chocolate! Ever since then I can't seem to keep enough of it made up in the kitchen! Take all the stuff you like about fondant, then subtract most of the stuff you don't like about fondant and you have modeling chocolate! And it even tastes better than fondant. BONUS!

Yesterday, Chad and I took off to Altanta for the day. We visited IKEA, as well as several bakeries. We ended out day up at the Barnes and Noble in Buckhead where we got to meet Jen and John Yates of the oh so wonderfully funny Cake Wrecks! They gave an awesome presentation and slide show. There were several really good wrecklipas there and we really turned the Children's Book Section into a party zone. They were as witty in person as they are on the web, and seemed like such a nice couple.

Well, I must go now; I am preparing for my cake decorating class tonight at Dalton State College. Only 2 more classes and my stint as a teacher will be over I fear. I leave you with a shot of the CakeWrecks crew and the Cup a Dee Cakes crew giving you a big smile that's sure to last all week long!

Back to the Future DeLorean Cake

This weekend our very good friends Greg and Kristin were married at Welcome Valley Village in Benton, Tennessee - very close to the Ocoee River. It was a beautifully rustic little place and we had a blast! Even though we deliver cakes to weddings almost every weekend, we rarely get to go to one. Greg is a big Back to the Future fan, and wanted a Delorean cake as his grooms cake. Greg was really happy with it (as were we) and there was a lot of people there that didn't believe it was cake. I stopped counting the Ace of Cakes references at somewhere around 20!

A while back we purchased Mike McCary's Cakenology DVD and ever since we have wanted to give it a shot. Chad and I worked on this cake over 24 hours, but we had an absolute blast making it. Mike certainly makes it look easy, but he gives excellent instruction.

Speaking of Mike McCary and instruction, tomorrow I will be attending Mike's modeling chocolate class at the Nicholas Lodge school in Atlanta. I am absolutely giddy with excitement. I got my first experience working with modeling chocolate on this car and I am really in love with it. I see Chad making lots more modeling chocolate in our future!!

Everyone have a great week and Congratulations Greg & Kristin! Have a great time in Key West!!

Skateboard Cake

Hey guys! I hope you've all been having a great week! It's certainly been another busy week here at the bakery! I finished up my cake decorating class this week at Dalton State College, and all my students did such great jobs! Most of them will be back in 2 weeks for the second course. I'm super stoked because during this break I will be taking a class of my own in Atlanta with the super talented Mike McCarey. Will any of my blog readers be there? If so, leave me a comment and let me know so we can talk!

OK, enough about me! Let's talk about this crazy skateboard cake! This week has been so crazy that I reached back into the cake archive to bring up this little beauty. The skateboard is all cake, covered in fondant and covered with edible image skateboard stickers. The trucks and wheels are all fondant. I have dowels running from wheel to wheel and one through the center to support each axle. I tried airbrushing flames on the board and they turned out pretty good, but I wasn't thoroughly happy with it. I wish the colors were more vibrant.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Laser Level Learning

Sometimes you happen upon something that's just too good not to share. I have used this technique before, but was doing it again this weekend and decided to record it, document it, and pass it along to all my cake decorating friends.

There have been several times when I needed a mark on a cake for some sort of decorating challenge. I tried using plastic strips, but they were slightly cumbersome and would sometime still leave a mark on the cake. One day while rummaging through Chad's tools I ran across his laser level. That day I used it and positioned it just by placing it on a stack of cake boards.

This weekend I kicked it up a notch and mounted it on my camera's tripod. It made it SO much easier to position the laser where I needed it. I was then able to pipe my band of swirlies right where I needed them! Hope you guys find this useful!!

Bridal Show Goodness

Wednesday already? Where has the week went? I must still be reeling from the wonderful Premier Bridal Show we were a part of on Sunday. This is the first time we have had a 20x10 booth and we had to scramble to get our layout just right. We brought all of our new faux cakes and they were a big hit, as we hoped they would be. I haven't got the final tally back from the show producers yet, but we met hundreds of brides and most knew exactly what they wanted; something very contemporary that matched their style and personalities. We have already had brides contacting us and we have a whole pile of names that we will start scheduling consultations with today.

In the last 2 pictures, pay particular attention to the AWESOME columns and cake stands that my talented big brother made for me! Aren't they just great?!? He made all the cake stands except the silver and glass ones. I keep telling him he needs to setup a website and sell these professionally. I'll keep on until I get him talked into it - that's what bratty baby sisters do!

Bake Like a Pirate Day!!

Avast ye mateys! OK, so it's not exactly "Bake Like a Pirate Day", but it is Talk Like a Pirate Day! So I thought that besides talking like a pirate, we would showcase a couple of pirate cakes from the Cup a Dee Cakes archives. On the top cake, we used a plastic gold doubloon and pressed it into gumpaste discs to make our own shiny gold pieces. some stock clipart and our trusty edible image printer made the map. We molded white chocolate gems and painted them with edible glitter to make them look more like real pirate's booty.

On the bottom cake, we used a lot of the same techniques as in the top cake, but we also molded 2 little pirates for the birthday boys. And each little pirate needed their own treasure chest smash cake. They turned out really great, even though they took us forever! We made each wooden slat out of fondant and built up the sides and top just like a "real" chest would be. I made this before I had my wood grain roller, so we used the tines of a fork to grain and distress the wood.

Well, get out and enjoy Talk Like a Pirate Day. Here at the bakery we'll be busy all day today making tons of cupcakes for all the couples visiting us the Premier Bridal Show at the Chattanooga Trade Center this Sunday. I will certainly blog more about that later! Until then, get out of here before I keelhaul you, ye landlubbers! Arrggghh!

Scrolls and Red Rose Wedding Cake

The lesson with this cake you ask? Bring a tool box/repair kit on every cake delivery. I didn't have any cake tragedies here, but I did need several things. First, I had to cut all the flowers and install them on the cake. Then I needed my sticky roller to clean up some of the mess I made on the table. Then I needed a Shout wipe to clean a little buttercream off the table cloth. Lastly, I had to use green floral tape and skewers and rig all the letters so they would sit up above the roses. The small stake in the plastic letters was barely big enough to hold them if you stabbed them directly into the cake, much less towering 4" over. I'm just saying, make a tool kit so you can grab it on your way out the door. Always keep a little of the cakes icing in a bag in cake of a larger tragedy. Last lesson for the day, wrap your ribbon around twice so that it doesn't get soaked with fat from the icing (then secure with a corsage pin). Happy caking!

Temporary Closed..!

Maaf bakul kuenya sementara tutup dulu, mau lebaran...^_^. Mohon maaf buat yang udah nelpon pesan kue tapi banyak yang aku tolak, karena aku tidak sempat lagi buat kue2. Insya Allah nanati setelah lebaran bisa berjalan seperti biasa lagi. Tapi karena asisten nggak ikut balik ke rumahku, jadi untuk sementara aku membatasi area pengiriman benar2 untuk Jakarta Selatan saja.

Terima kasih buat teman2 dan pelangan aku, atas segala pengertiannya. Mohon maaf lahir dan bathin.

Oiya aku mudik sampai tanggal 26 September, mungkin baru buka lagi bakul kuenya setelah anak2 masuk sekolah tanggal 3 Oktober ya...^_^

Piped baby shower with ?

If you don't already know, I am not personally a fan of using plastic on a cake. I'm not judging mind you, I do it. I just try to do it as little as possible. It sure would make life easier and you don't break copyright, which not breaking the law is always a good thing. I'm referring to Elmo and such, not these booties of course. The first tiered cake I ever made was a cake in a similar style of this one. Boy have I learned a lot! I've also learned that people don't always want to spend the money on all gum paste items like booties. Once a customer sees the plastic on a cake, it's hard to "up sale" them to handmade. Just keep that in mind if you don't want to ever "do" plastic. I have such a hard time doing cakes like this that aren't really my "style" anymore. I really do love it when the customers say "do whatever you want". That way you can try that great cake in your head and they get an awesome cake for less than you will charge next time!

Black Vine Wedding cake

There seems to be a lot of weddings this year with a black and white color scheme. I'm a fan, especially when it's done right! For this 3-tier wedding cake I used my house buttercream with some white color added to it. Most people know this, but just in case you don't make your black icing at least a day before. It will deepen overtime and you don't have to use as much color. This is especially important when you are mixing colors like red or orange that have to match ribbon or an invitation. Make it ahead and make plenty. The only tricky thing with a cake like this is making sure you "caulk" the seams in between the layers so that it looks very clean. When you pipe in black, you'd better mean it. It is hard to undo. This design was given to me by the bride. I tried to reproduce it the best I can, but piping is a little like hand writing, everyone has their own style.

Dora Cake dan Minicake Raras

Cake ini di pesan oleh mbak Wulan di Griya MM, Ciputat untuk ultah anak tercinta Raras yang ke 3. Cakenya minta tema dora, tapi nggak mau pakai figurine maunya topper. Aku udah cari2 ke semua TBK, termasuk ke mbak Fifang yang memang sering promo topper cake maupun cupcake. Tapi karena Dora udah kurang ngetop jadinya nggak ada lagi yang jual. Pas bongkar2 koleksi topper, nemu deh si Dora & Boots ini. Alhamdulillah...














Janji antar kuenya setelah jam 7, karena mbak Wulan baru pulang kantor jam segini, tapi karena asisten di rumah lagi sholat taraweh, nggak tega ninggalin Ghina yang lagi sakit. Biasanya kalau ada antaran malam yang antar suami, tapi berhubung suami lagi sakit, langsung telpon tukang ojek langganan deh. Pas tukang ojeknya udah dateng, asistenku belum pulang taraweh, baru pulang jam 9 kurang. Soalnya Ghina nggak mau ditinggal cuma berdua ayahnya saja. Ya udah jadi agak malam sampai ke rumah mbak Wulan. Maaf ya mbak....^_^




















Semoga kuenya sesuai sama yang diinginkan, tapi sayang gambar kue Doranya kurang bagus, karena aku lupa foto ternyata, jadi pas udah mau berangkat baru foto. Emang tukang kuenya mulai teledor hehehe...

Selamat ulang tahun Raras, semoga sehat dan bahagia selalu, dan jadi anak yang berbakti pada orang tua. Amin.

Red & Black Show Cake

I know, I know, I'm like the worst blogger ever! But if you only knew HOW busy we've been lately. I am teaching a decorating class beginning September 15 at Dalton State College and then we have a HUGE bridal show on September 20th!! I have been so busy getting my syllabus ready and my booth designed that I have had no time left over for anything else. I am also trying to make some new show pieces to bring to the bridal show. Case in point - this "little" red and black number I have been working on for the past few weeks.

This is a dummy cake, so no actual cake, just Styrofoam layers, but it has been decorated with actual fondant and food safe materials. The beads are plastic beads that my poor husband lovingly cut from a beaded curtain I purchased online and then hot-glued to the bottom of the separator plates. The cat toppers are a pair of Jonathan Adler kitty S&P shakers that I have had for a while. They may or may not make it to showtime. What do you think? Kitty topper or no kitty topper?

I wanted to do one really huge, striking cake that I can put up at the show that will really draw people in. Here's hoping this does the trick!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great week!

Cupcake dan Minicake Thank You

Cupcake & minicake ini dipesan oleh mbak Efi di Fatmawati dalam rangka resign dari kantornya. Semoga berkenan ya mbak, dan semoga sukses selalu. Amin.















Cupcake dan minicakenya aku buat dengan 4 wana, semua yang soft, pink, yellow, blue sama putih. Maaf ya kalau agak telat sampai tujuan, karena kurirnya memang agak telat dan dia nggak berani bawa motor cepat2.

Chocolate Cheese Cake

Happy birthday to me...! Wish me all the best, semoga bisa jadi Ibu dan istri sholehah dan bisa menjalankan tugas sebagai Ibu dan bakul kue dengan sempurna. Amin.

Tadinya gak mau buat kue, karena kan lagi puasa, tapi Ghina bilang, "buat kue dong Bu, kan Ibu ulang tahun, nggak dikasih kado jadi kuenya Ibu buat sendiri aja.." Hahahaha...paling bisa deh! Ya udah, nyontek dari buku resep yang dibawain tante Indah sama om Dimas dari Malaysia waktu itu, ada resep chocolate cheese cake.

Rasanya lumayan enak, nggak terlalu cheese karena ada chocolatenya. Aku tambahin aja pakai cream atasnya, biar enak... yummy deh kayaknya kalo buat buka puasa. Cuma pas difoto belum pas belum dikasih cream.

Modern Baby Shower Cake

It's been a crazy week here at the bakery, but it's been over a week since I blogged so I want to share a quick pic with all of you before I jump head first into this eyelet lace wedding cake I'm working on for this weekend.

This particular cake I did for a baby shower a few weeks ago and had a fun time making it. Nothing technically hard on this one, just fondant shapes and fondant spheres on a wire (affectionately known here in the kitchen as "doomies"). The Mommy design was an edible image.

Sorry for the shorter than usual post, but the cakes, they are a calling! Have a great weekend!!
