My 8 year old little sister (from Big Brothers Big Sisters) made this for her mom for mother's day. She iced the cake, made the drop flowers and leaves and positioned the roses all by herself. I thought she did a great job!

Blue Bow Wedding Cake

Blue Bow Wedding Cake

16", 12", 8" squares. The bride's colors were light blue and midnight blue. I think I would have gone with the same color ribbon on the packages as the bow on top, but that's not what she wanted. It was my first attempt at a fondant bow and I was rather pleased with the outcome though.

German chocolate groom's cake. I was asked to make Knight Rider chase the General Lee and make it look like the General Lee had just jumped a river. A big, big, big thank you to ChristyB on this one! I modified the cakes of hers I found on this site and she was super helpful with instructions as well. Filling was German chocolate icing and all decorations were buttercream (except the matchbox cars!)
