Here is my weekend cake:

Tomorrow a family will gather together and celebrate.  The birthday girls had requested a cake with horses, a fence, and a ducks on a pond.  The other night I spent some time sculpting the horses and ducks out of fondant.  I also made some cattails and at my husbands recommendation – a turtle.  I envisioned the fence as the backdrop with the horses resting in the field near the pond. 

Here is how it turned out . . .

My first attempt at horses. I’m pretty pleased, but there’s plenty to work on.

Twin sisters celebrate their individuality . . .

Two special little girls turned 9 today.  I had the privilege to make their individual cakes.

They each picked a theme and in honor of their 9th birthday each cake had nine of something on it.  The horse themed cake had 9 horseshoes and the monkey stranded on the island had 9 bananas.
