Cade's Barnyard Birthday

And now, here are the late pictures of Cade's birthday. We had a fun night with family. We started off with a seafood boil--yum! Then we had cake and presents. His cake was a lot of fun to make also. It was a fondant cake and everything on it was edible. I had a lot of fun making the animals out of fondant. The little ladybugs and bees turned out really cute, and Cade couldn't wait to pop one into his mouth. Unfortunately, as you can see, one of the sheep was a little too heavy for the side and ended up tearing the side of the cake. I also had to rush on the border. I wanted to pipe some grass for the border, but I ran out of time and frosting, so I attempted to make a super fast "grass-like" border out of leftover fondant--I'm not impressed with it. Oh well, it was still a really cute and delicious cake! Plus, we had a lot left over to eat for the 4th.

Cowboy Connor's Birthday

So, I'm quite late with this post. This was Connor's Cowboy birthday. It was a lot of fun! I had a really good time making his fondant covered cake. It took so much time to make! Everything was edible. I wish I had a picture from the night before when I put it together; it was much perkier than in these pictures. The heat had started to get to it, and it was starting to melt and lean. I actually sculpted the two horse heads out of modeling chocolate. The cowboy boots and the cowboy hat were made out of rice krispies treats and covered with fondant. The hay bale was made out of peanut butter chips and crunchy chow mein noodles. Connor had such a good time. We had a cowboy campfire and hotdogs. We also invited Cowboy Jim and Cowgirl Kay, and we had Matthew over to spend the night. What a fun night!
