Tea Party With Grandma
2 - 8" round cakes covered in fondant. Table cloth is imprinted w/ Wilton mat. Everything is made of gumpaste (except the forks). The invitation and the name cards are edible images. The litle cake on the table is actually "cake" that I covered in fondant and decorated. The invitation has a pict. of the grandma and her grandaughter and on the inside it says "We will be having... Cake, Tea, Cookies, Presents and FUN!" I intentionally made the tea pot drip, not an accident. Thanks for looking!

Stripes And Polka Dots
First time doing stripes and dot. I had a terrible time using the choc. fondant. I wanted to make a ribbon of fondant and place around the square cake in one continuous piece. The choc. fondant kept tearing the cracking. I was using MFF fondant with dark choc. mixed in. Any help or suggestions for future use would be helpful. Thanks for looking.
