My youngest and I have been doing a lot of experimenting in the kitchen. Our adventure earlier today involved some homemade fondant and a boxed cake mix (to save a bit of time).
Our cake turned into one to celebrate mom/wife, as she was offered a teaching job in our city just prior to the decorating madness.
I hope you enjoy a few shots from our little baking and decorating adventure.

Back to kitchen. Butter frosting underway. That’s a lot of powdered sugar.

Colored the fondant. Getting ready to roll out while girls decide decorating plan.

Decorating in progress. Balloons and swan by the girls. Now a celebration cake as wife offered a job today.

Dragon and frog oblivious to their upcoming demise.

Finished cake with a soccer ball, swan, sea dragon, frog, bouncy ball, dish of ice cream and a flower. Congrats to Lisa/Mom and to Sophie and her friend Emily for rocking on the decorations.
