I had a wonderful Mother's Day. First I got to sleep in! Then Sean and the kids (okay, let's face it - just Sean) made breakfast burritos. My mom called to tell me Happy Mother's Day and Sean told her she needed to come for the day and stay for dinner. So it was an unexpected surprise to have her here. Then my friend Sarah came over for dinner, and Sean made us bbq chicken, pasta salad, and grilled zucchini on the bbq (which, by the way, was fabulous, and I don't think I'll ever eat regular old boring steamed zucchini again). Sean did a great job pampering me on mother's day, as he always has.
Here is the cake I made last night! I was scared to work with fondant but it is so easy. It doesn't taste as good as butter cream frosting, but it's better than a kick in the pants. I think next time I would put a regular thick layer of frosting on and then super thin fondant. (They tell you to put a thin layer of frosting on, and thicker fondant.)
And here are the fondant roses! They are super much easier than the icing ones, but don't taste as good, and I wasn't as proud of these as I was of my icing roses. It takes a lot more skill and technique to get the icing ones to look good. But these are easier!! I told Emma that by the time she gets married I will be ready to do wedding cakes. Hopefully.

Absolutely adorable pictures of you and the girls. And those roses...how on earth did you do that, they are beautiful. What a great mother's day for you and by the way thank you for the recipes.
Oh and I am not sure if you got my last comment about the Amish Bread Recipe. I know some people don't like to give out certain recipes and if that is the case that is totally fine but I thought I would mention one more time!
your cake looks awesome. i am definitely jealous of your talent. that's a great talent to have; it'll definitely come in handy in the years to come.
Wow! Sounds like you had a wonderful mother's day! And everyone looked so cute! You have an adorable family. And your cake! Love it!

I wanted to let you know I found the recipe for the Amish bread as well as the starter recipe you mentioned in your email. If you want or need it let me know and I would be more than happy to forward it on to you.
Hi Misty!!
I found your blog through the Tucker's blog.
Awesome job on the cake and the flowers. If you want any help with cake decorating tips(not that you need it), I used to do it for a living.
