Yummmmyyyy!

Colorful drinks-we all tried something new. Except prego of course.

Well I think fun was had by all this weekend in honor of April's birthday. Here are a few pics. Some how I didn't get any pics of Sunday night except for the cake. Bummer. I always seem to do that. I loved the cake. I searched around online for ideas, found a fantastic fondant recipe (that actually didn't taste bad), made the cake & icing from scratch & did all the art work myself. I was pretty pleased with how it turned out. It was a really fun learning experience & I've been dying to play with fondant for a while. I think over all I use 6 pounds of powdered sugar. 6 sticks of butter, 3 pounds of marshmallows & a big bottle of tums. Ha! I didn't even eat any of the cake at the party. I was so sick of tasting & testing I didn't even want to smell it. Although I must admit it smelled pretty nice. It was a vanilla layer cake with strawberry preserves between layers and vanilla strawberry buttercream icing between the cake & the marshmallow fondant. Whoa! Make your tummy ache thinking about it? Me too! Well April adores her birthday & looks forward to it all year & I love that about her. She always has a way of making holidays so special & I am inspired by that. So Happy birthday April-hope it was a good one!
