Happy Birthday Dot!!

We celebrated Dot's birthday today! She's such a delight.
Here she is with her four brothers:
New popover pans from G&G K & us. We are all looking forward to her trying them out!Her special cake. She had a dream, and I helped it become reality. It has alot of her on the cake. The blue dragon is Saphria from "Eragon", there is a red book with an "I" on it - stands for Inkheart and imagination, the winged horse Flinn - from a fantasy she is writing (not made from Fondant), her special chain from her trip to Mexico, a mermaid - she is writing a book that has mermaids in it, a red scarf from Padme and Rahab, a small dragon charm on the top of the cake, a golden ring from the ring in "Lord of the Rings", Lucy's vial from "Narnia", a kitty which stands for Aslan, a mouse which is Reepicheep from "Narnia", the candle is for the beacon of Gondor, her Chinese ring (on the back of the cake) a brown book that is one of her many journals, a sword for Peter, and flowers which stand for each member of her friends and family who are beautiful apart and beautiful together. If she explained it, it would be a whole lot more complicated, and have more meaning to the symbols - but ya get the drift. :-)
It was a project! But, she was worth it! :-) Love ya, Sugar, Mom :-)

Wow! That is QUITE A CAKE! You did a wonderful job on it! I have never actually worked with fondant myself, (believe it or not), but I should try it one of these days. Happy Belated Birthday, "Dot"!
