Last night was Fathers and Sons for our stake. Even though Rees is to young for a campout, Benjy still went which meant I got ME TIME after Rees went to sleep (if you can call what he did sleep). I decided to work on one of the many things I want to be good at but never really have the time/talent to do. My choice...fondant. I broke out the Styrofoam and made a mini cake with fondant. Turns out that I kinda suck at it but I had a blast. I do pretty well with round cakes but square shapes are a whole nother ball game (the corners were a killer and the fondant was hardening to fast). I did figure out a few tricks though so I need to make another soon so I can try them out.

Ashley I love the neon green more than anything! Next time do neon pink flowers for me! hehe Anyway what I really wanted to say is why are there NO pictures of you? I want to see more pictures of you soon, your such a pretty girl...don't be shy!
Ashley this looks freakin amazing! You have so many talents that I would love to have! How did you even know what to do? You could start doing this for weddings ya know?
What do you mean you suck at it? This looks great! Very creative with the flowers and all.
Dang that cake is gorgeous! I love to bake as well but the whole fondant thing was never my forte! It looks fabulous!
It is almost too pretty to eat! But it would be a shame to let it go to waste . . .
That cake looks AMAZING!!!!! Keep it up. I"ll hire you to make some birthday cakes for us :) And I think Rees is PLENTY old enough to go camping with Daddy. Camping with you (he still needs to get older) But hey if you aren't there and Daddy has to take care of him ALONE he is PLenty old enough HEHEHEHE. Then you have a true night to yourself.
I agree with everyone? How can you say you suck? I wish that I was that good. It is incredible! That is definitely something that I would LOVE to learn!
Ashley, what a neat cake. I bet that was so fun.
Oh my goodness, if that is kind of sucking then sign me up! I could never do anything like that in my life. You are so talented! I love how you aren't afraid to try things, I need to take a lesson from you!
Looks great to me. I find it funny that with your "me time" you wanted to decorate a cake :). Awesome.
