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!

Thanks to both of you! What is so funny, is the person who did win it, is a man whose wife has been bugging me every month since I started doing this, that each cake should have been hers when someone else won. All in fun, of course. She is also in my cake club! When I drew out his name, I laughed so hard I had to contact him right away to let him know, and also to keep it a big secret, so I don't think she knows yet that he won. They had to go out of state this weekend to Kansas for his own Mom's Mother's Day and he made arrangements to pick it up this evening on their way back to our neck of the woods.
