Mother's Day

Susan and I were not able to celebrate Mother's Day with Mom this year as they were still in Arizona, so we celebrated last weekend when they stopped and stayed with us for four days on their way up to Port Susan. We took Mom to lunch at The Whitehouse Cafe. We all ordered something different but as always the food was wonderful and we enjoyed our visit.

While it could not be a surprise since she was here, we also made her a teapot cake. Mom loves teapots and we thought this cake was just perfect for her. The pound cake has been baked and cut into the bottom and top of the cake and the lid.

The teapot is taking shape.

The body of the teapot is frosted and the lid is in place.

Susan had the hard job of kneading the fondant in order to work in the different colors for the flowers and then I cut them out.

Susan molded the handle, spout and the top of the lid out of marzipan.

Flowers are going on the teapot and heart sprinkles line the base of the lid.

The finished product. Mom liked her teapot and we had a great time making it.
