I found a wanted ad on Craiglist and offered to make a cake for her daughter's birthday. My niece found out and wanted a ladybug cake too.... So I got a practice run for the ladybug cake.
I actually mailed this one to Indiana and it made it in one piece. She was able to lay it across a sheet cake she had purchased. It turned out adorable.
I wanted to do something for me, only problem is I walked away from my bow to pick up a kid from their activity and came back to dried out fondant strips. Well the outcome is when you go to fold them they crack, but it was my cake so I didn't care. Anyone else I would have thrown the loops away and started over.
