. If you are new to my site, Welcome!! Come check out my Cake Endeavors! As you recall from last week’s post on the stressful opportunity to make Miss Sophie’s Birthday cake, I did a practice run with fondant, since I have never been successful with it yet. But I can officially say, that I don’t mind working with fondant. It is still a challenge for me, but now I have two cakes under my belt. But enough talking, I know you all want to see the finished product!
But, another small piece of info before I reveal the final product, my wonderful sister-in-law, Beth, was brought on board to work on the characters. She is an amazing and talented artist so I asked her if she wanted to do a “small” project for me. She has never done fondant before, but as you can see she worked magic! We had a ton of fun working together and I wish she lived closer so that we can do this again (she was staying here while her husband Nate was deployed in Iraq, but he will be home in 2 weeks so she will be leaving us and heading home 
)
And after working on this cake for some time and the fact that it was way past our bedtimes, Beth and I thought it would be fun to make Pig a little bit more discreet ( but don’t fret, it wasn’t permanent)…

That is a absolutely adorable cake!!! Y’all did a fantastic job!!!
Thanks! It was totally fun to do!
Gorgeous! Awesome job!!
Oh my gosh! This looks amazing! You did such a wonderful job!
Thanks! I think it turned out just perfect
and Miss Sophie loved playing with the edible animals!
SHUT UP!!! That cake is incredible!!! Fantastic job. Your SIL seems quite talented as well. Did she just flip or what when you delivered it?? You should start a business!!
That is amazing!! You could be on one of those cake shows!! Can I put in my order now for June??
But I’d just want to stare at it and never cut it! Great job!
Of course I would make Coop a cake
!! And yes, it was little bitter sweet cutting into that cake!
Found this website through hubby’s facebook. I just wanted say that your cake looks GORGEOUS.
Thank you so much again!! Just so everyone knows, Sophie LOVED it. It was so cute to watch her “interact” with the characters when it was time to cut the cake (although cutting it was quite sad) and she had all the characters placed on a plate in front of her! And of course I loved it too and I DID totally flip when Cortney delivered it. And it was GOOD!! So tasty. The marshmallow fondant was delicious. It was the BEST CAKE EVER!!
Beautiful!! What a fun cake!!
It looks awesome! Are you wanting to start taking orders?
I would love too if you wanted me too. Right now I am just thinking family and friends, too practice on
. But eventually I think I would love to try to start something up once I got some practice under my belt!
After reading through your cake endeavors, I was really anxious to see how this cake would turn out. It is AWESOME! Almost too good to eat! Great job
Thanks! I was anxious too! I love the thrill (and stress) of the end result – going from nothing to having something turn out so well!
Hey Cort, yes the cake turned out up to your usual standards, but what about the apple pies, two is easier than one.!!??
This cake is amazing!! I love the duck and dog. So cute!
Love it! It’s so cute. You did an amazing job!
Amazing! That is the most amazing cake. You two did a wonderful job!
