Finally the Cakes!

Yes, I'm still alive in case anyone was wondering. I have just been very busy so not a lot of time for crafting. I started back to school in January and have had to put crafting and blogging on the back burner. Family, school, and work are just more of a priority than blogging right now. I'm not taking classes this summer though so hopefully there will be more frequent posts soon.

I love how the Candyland cake turned out, but most importantly, Aly loved her cake. She had lots of input into the design.
It is decorated with Ribbon Candy, Candy Sticks, Twizzlers, Mike-and-Ike's, Almond Joy, Chocolate Chips, Dum Dums, and Peppermint. The colored squares for the path and edges of the cake are made from Marshmallow Fondant using the recipe posted HERE.

And here is Abby with her Orange and Purple Barbie. She even had to approve the shades of orange and purple to make sure they were ok before she would let me frost the cake. What can I say, the girl loves her Clemson Tigers; makes her Mama and Daddy proud!
I made the bodice of the dress with Marshmallow Fondant. So much easier and prettier than trying to make it out of regular frosting like I did Aly's barbie cake last year.
