Happy Birthday, Ladybug! (Part 2)

For Ladybug's first birthday party, I planned a "Ladybug Luncheon." Of course I had to have a ladybug cake and I thought, "Why buy when I can create?" So, I set about my planning to make not one, but two ladybug cakes: one to share and one for Ladybug to destroy, of course.

I ended up making a 12 inch, triple layer, hand-carved, fondant covered cake for all of our birthday guests and a little ladybug cake with non-dairy frosting for Ladybug to enjoy all by herself. It took a long time (especially coloring and kneading the fondant), but it was so worth it! Check 'em out!
