From farm animals to roses!

I haven't posted in a long time because there hasn't been much to share until now. This weekend we celebrated Hunter's (our great nephew) 1st birthday. At his mom's request, I made the cake a barnyard scene (complete with a farm dog--a dachshund of course)!

I had left over cake batter, so I made cupcakes. Since I was still in cake decorating mode, I practiced making icing roses. I have never been very good at making them, but I thought these turned out quite well!
