Here Comes the Bride


This was soooooo much fun to make. Yet at the same time it just about drove me to tears when I was actually creating it.

The event was a Bridal shower. The bridesmaid throwing the party gave me a swatch of fabric and said "make something cute - I totally trust you". Since she is a friend I figured that it needed to be something SUPER CREATIVE because it is a goal to impress all friends with wonderful things that they are deserving of. And then I found a picture of a cake with dresses like these on a cake.

Of course figuring I could do it I picked that as my pattern. And Good Gravy was I mildly regretting it when I realized I had little clue as to what to do with fondant when working with intricate surfaces and not simple flat lines.

In the end - after much self cursing - I won the battle and this super cute cake was completed!!

Marble cake - dresses are yellow and chocolate - Vanilla Buttercream icing under the fondant and on the half sheet cake. All yum!!

Nothin' Fancy


The cake we ate later was this one. Chocolate cake, Snickers ice cream smushed on top, chocolate buttercream icing swirled over top of that and then some salted peanuts sprinkled before the icing set. We didn't eat this for 5 days though because BigGuy got a stomache bug for his birthday. Not really expecting it to be outstanding and having kinda forgotten about it - we really really liked it. Nice combo of favorites BigGuy!!
