She felt special and loved, as she watched each of her buddies from all of her cute separate worlds (church, school, neighborhood, Daddy's work, etc.) collide into one big circus-themed party. The weather was perfect, and we even got our $20 deposit back (despite the mess the rented elephant made). A girl couldn't have a better day I tell ya.
The above cake was my gift to her, as I stayed up until the wee hours rolling, cutting, and dyeing fondant. I posted it on FB already, and it received some really kind comments. But let me just tell you, it was all show. Fondant is the grossest tasting stuff next to marzipan. Actually, at least marzipan has that almondy flavor, but fondant tastes like a plastic Strawberry Shortcake doll. How do I know, you ask? Don't pretend like you didn't lick them too when you were a kid, hoping that the taste would be as good as the smell. You did. Anyway, I was lucky the cake-cake part tasted good, otherwise I might as well have made that Amy Sedaris cake I've been meaning to try.
My dog is scratching at our door for the 9th time in the past hour, so that is my cue to say goodbye. Well actually, in the time it took me to write the previous line, he just pooped in the laundry room. I better go before he takes himself to the pound.

That is one beautiful happy birthday gal you have there.
Fondant tastes like Barbie's Dream House smells. (I'm older than you.)
P.S. That cake is a marvel. You are the Ace-ette of Cakes.
You can tell by the look on her face how much she loved and appreciated her special cake! Please print some of these! Guess who loves fondant? Your sweetaholic MIL!

You totally have to google marshmallow fondant. That's what my mom makes, and it tastes yummy. We actually roll out the leftovers, cut with cookie cutters, let dry, and serve as candy.
Your cake looks dang skippy incredible!
Hahahaha love the cake... my strawberry shortcake doll had strawberry-breath. Did they all do that? Now that I think about it, a doll who blows the smell of strawberries when you squeeze her stomach is almost as odd as Puppy Surprise, the stuffed dog that gave birth to puppies via cesarean section whenever its owner so pleased.
They were two of my favorite toys too... CREEPY
