Jeri, a reader from Georgia, and I had some email discussions flying back and forth a while back about wedding cakes, marshmallow fondant, techniques, etc. She had volunteered to make her sister's wedding cake, no small feat considering Jeri has spent a long hard road the last couple of years recovering from an extremely serious medical problem.
I was THRILLED when she sent me these photos of her sister's cake. Is this not beautiful? If I were her sister, and I know she had to have been, I would have been tickled pink and overwhelmed with this gift of love.
Isn't it pretty? I love the pale pink of the flowers against the dark green background. I'm sort of feeling sorry for Jeri, in this moment, thinking how much elbow grease it took to knead that much green into that much marshmallow fondant. I'm sort of hoping she had a stand mixer to do that part for her!
And then here's the grooms cake that I almost didn't post because my little brother, Kenneth, who is a big hunter and fisherman, reads this blog. Don't get any ideas, pal. I don't have an airbrush. I might be able to hand mix marshmallow fondant to make these colors...nope. Don't even think about it. :-) Okay, well, maybe I'll think about and see what I can come up with by November. Maybe I need to talk to Kenneth's boss, Lacey, about some kind of shindig in the fall....
This is adorable:
Thanks for sending the pics, Jeri! I love your cakes! You did a wonderful job for your Sis.

Those are lovely cakes filled with love.
I watched somebody use an air brush, neat effects but beyond my skill level.

Tanna--I'd love to play with one but I'd never buy one--I'd never get enough use out of it. Would be a fun toy, though.
Deborah--Isn't that adorable?
