Completely Edible!

Okay, for real...this kid is totally edible! We've started trying to let Quinn feed himself (SOMETIMES...i'm not stupid...if we let him do it all the time... he'd waste away to nothin' 'cause nothin' would get into his belly!). Now, this image is the result of letting Quinn feed himself...too cute not to capture in a picture!







Now, this doesn't look very edible does it? No. It sure doesn't look edible. HOWEVER...it was! And tasty, too. This is Daniel's birthday cake (yes, from 9.11.07)...it's taken me awhile to post it. Anyway, this is the first time i've played with fondant (the green layer on the bottom tier of the cake and the purple hearts) and the first time i've done a tiered cake. Anyway...we made our own fondant...i don't recommend this...it's way too difficult, especially if you don't know what fondant is supposed to feel like or look like when it's ready to use! Anyway, it's fun to work with fondant (though hard, too). Making this cake was GOOD practice. Usually I just wait to do something for the first time when it really counts and then it goes--pretty much--kablooey! Well...anyway, I'm really proud of this cake. It doesn't look like much, but for my first one...i'll take it.
