armadillo madness: second wedding cake of the year

so i swear this is what my sister's bff dreamed of for her wedding:

the armadillo groom's cake from "steel magnolias."

allie bringing her 'dillo a-game. none of us had ever worked with fondant before.

finished final cake. 'dillo body is red velvet cake, but all the appendanges are straight fondant (which tastes like sugary play-doh, btw) on top of a two-layer red velvet cake slathered with swiss meringue buttercream frosting.

practice 'dillo makes googly eyes are the final 'dillo. practice 'dillo may still be sitting in meghan's classroom.

celebrate our brilliance. 3 teachers (or rather, 2 teachers and 1 burnout) with no cake making experience brings the AWESOME.

'dillo at the wedding. i packed it in a packing box. ghetto.

terrible right? but dr. tiff was thrilled.

happy end product. roadkill 'dillo = happy bride.

fin.
