Our dearest friends, the Hallock family, drove all the from Kansas to spend a few days with us in central Alabama. I had been promising Savannah that I would make her a cake. Apparently, getting a "Cake by AmyBeth" was a big deal to this precocious little girl. Naturally, I had to oblige. I originally intended to cover the cake in white fondant, rather than buttercream, but due to time constraints I eighty-sixed that idea. In the end only the flowers, stems and leaves, and "dots" are made of MM fondant. The best part for me was that Savannah got to help make the decorations for her cake. Personally, I think she's a natural and I can't wait until her family moves to the Heart of Dixie so I can recruit Vannah to be my sous chef!
