Spring Break is Sweet!

With the kids and I home for Spring Break (its 90 degrees today) I have been trying to do things with each child that they would like to do.  Yesterday I played a mean game of checkers with Jayden and had his 2 cousins over to play.  Last night Aubrey and I stayed up way too late watching Cake Boss on cable.  We were either tired and delirious or inspired because today we hit the kitchen to make our own fondant cake.  After watching You Tube videos we started making powdered sugar fly. 

 Frosting the cake. . .careful!  No crumbs!

 Kneading the fondant.  Its like playing with Marshmallow Play-doh!

 Rolling it out nice and smooth

 Carefully draping it on the cake

 Trimming the extra

 Jayden had to get in the action

 That means Breanna too

 Making the bow just right

Just right!!  Its almost too cute to eat!  But we did :)  I'd say it was pretty good for a first time.  Now, on to the double decker cakes!!!
