First Cake...Grandma's Birthday

Mamaw's 76 birthday was this year and to celebrate her big day I had the opportunity to create her birthday cake!  This was my first cake creation and I wanted to do something that was full of color and would not be really difficult (being so new to the cake world).

I decided that I would use fondant because I had not had much experience with butter-cream icing.  After playing around with cookie cutters, fondant and powered sugar for several hours this became the completed product.

It seemed to be a hit with the family and somehow made the travel safely from Bowling Green to Louisville!
