Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

Every month since February, I have been giving away one cake as a good will gift among those in my community. This is the one I made for May. I did a Shirley Wilson and made a plaque out of gum paste that says Happy Mother's Day. Her cakes always look so classy with those trademark plaques of hers. Thank you Shirley for such a great idea! I made the buttons from a mold I made from a real button. The fondant is lemon/butter/vanilla flavored marshmallow fondant. I covered the cake board with it too and airbrushed it gold to match. The flowers on top were going to be real as an added bonus....until I priced them at the grocery store florist! Starting price for a cake topper? $50.00!!! So, I opted for silk. I so stink at making flowers. I know, I know, I just need to practice. ugh!

Hey Cheryl, I just noticed! You aren't all that far from me! I'm in Council Bluffs, Iowa (across they bridge from Omaha). It's just a hop/skip/ and a jump for me to get to Lincoln. I have a niece that lives there who is in the process of building a house.

Thanks for the help ladies. Maybe in overheating the marshmallows too as when I stir it after I take if from the microwave there looks like lots of air in the marshmallows themselves! It's a bit frustrating but ill keep at it!
