I wanted to make Stan a special cake for his birthday, which was on May 10th. I thought we could celebrate it on Mother's Day because he was out of town. We had his mother over and a girlfriend's family over too. I know his number one love is gardening so, I knew I wanted to decorate the cake with a "Garden Theme".
I made a cheesecake
and I found lots of miniatures to decorate with.
I made the garden tools out of different color chocolates.
I found a mold that was perfect.
The candy rocks I found at a bakery.
I found these pots and potting table at a miniature store.
They looked perfect on the cake.
How cute is the garden hose and little rabbit?
I made these seed packets out of chocolate too.
Everyone loved the cake especially, Stan.
We had a wonderful meal, enjoying each others company.
I hope you all had a wonderful
Mother's Day with your families too!
Happy Thursday everyone!
