Frogs and Outhouses

So, I really do need to post more often. It seems I only post about cakes and even then, it has been a month since one of these cakes was made. The cupcake tree was made by me, my mom, and my aunt Sonya. Since we are from West Virginia I decided to make farm themed cupcakes for the family reunion. I was in a time crunch, so the detail in the cupcakes is lacking, due mostly to the fact that it took me three hours to make the outhouse. I would like it noted that I made 8 marshmallow animals in the time it took Mom and Sonya to make two a piece. Theirs' had more detail and all, but speed was needed to ensure the cake would be completed The outhouse was edible by the way. However, Patty can attest that edible and tasty are two completely separate things.The most amusing part was that Sonya kept adding water to the Marshmallow fondant , which is a bad thing, because if you add too much water the fondant sags and never dries. She ended up with a very saggy pig.



The second cake was a lot of fun to make. I made it with Tes. Well, I made the fondant and helped ice. She shaped the cake and came up with the eyes, tongue, toes and spots. I think it looks awesome.
