I really have no idea what I was thinking when I decided to make Brody's birthday cake. It has been a long time since I have baked and truly decorated a cake. And I think the last time I did it my mom was there to help me out. Although I did call my mom often to make sure I was doing things correctly. So I was thinking of what I could do for a one year old that he really likes so Mike and I decided that the cake would be a duck. I found a 3-D duck cake pan and so it was final, a duck it was going to be. I also wanted this duck to be sitting on a pond. So I thought what could I use to make a pond? Fondant, I thought! Well I have never used fondant before so I thought I would try it. I got help from a friend in my ward, who taught me how to make it. So I tried it. It was not the best, ok really it was pretty bad. But I just made it work. And in all the pictures it does not look so bad. I had fun making it.

Here are some pictures of me completing the cake.
I really did have fun putting this all together. And Mike did not think I could really do it, I showed him:)
