ladybug, ladybug fly away home

This weekend we went up to my sister's house for a birthday party for my niece. In the morning we played in the yard. I consider my sister (both of my sister's actually) a perfect example of good parenting. She lets her children be themselves, take risks, and play hard.The birthday celebration happened over lunch. My niece had specifically requested a chocolate ladybug cake, and I couldn't let her down. This was not only my first time using fondant, I decided to make it even more exciting by making the fondant on my own. Good times. It certainly was an evening of learning experiences, but the fondant was surprisingly easy to adapt to.
