Baking In a Finished Kitchen!

I've found a new hobby...


 Gumpaste flowers!  Palma recently asked me to make a cake for Kristl's birthday. I decided to give gumpaste a whirl. As it turns out, it's a really simple and rewarding medium!
 For the cake, I decided to try marshmallow fondant...
 it was a bust. It tore and had tons of air bubbles. Perhaps it was me, but it just wasn't panning out, so I used regular old Wilton fondant instead...

 It turned out great!



 Poor Kris was accosted by a mob of sugar fiends...
 In other news, our kitchen re-do is finally, finally finished!
Before...


After! Ta-da!
