A Stroller Centerpiece


Ms. Rita wanted a cake with a baby in a stroller for a baby shower she was hostessing.  Unfortunately, I had to be out of town that particular weekend, so we decided that I would make a cake "dummy" for her centerpiece.  This is NOT cake but styrofoam covered by fondant, topped with her stroller.



A Summer Celebration

The Women's Ministry celebrated the end of summer with a "Southern Summer Celebration." The centerpieces and desserts were one in the same! Take a look at the "cool" cupcakes!
