County fair!

The Riley county fair was the towards the end of July and a few weeks before there was an insert in the paper about it. I was going through it and saw that there was open class cake decorating, and joked with Derrick that I was going to enter a cake in the fair. About a week before the fair I decided that I really was going to enter a cake and decided on a Wedding cake. (almost did a kid's cake though)
The girls overheard and decided they wanted to enter something in the fair as well, so I told them about the open arts and that they could make a drawing or craft and enter it too. They were thrilled!
So in between my summer class and random house things I made a wedding cake.
Mckenna made a bird's nest in a tree with a bird and eggs. Hailey drew Bob the Blob from the movie Monsters Vs. Aliens. They both did great and are looking forward to entering something again next year.
Mckenna and her Craft, she won a blue ribbon
Hailey, being a pill, with her Bob the Blob drawing. She won a purple ribbon.

My Wedding cake. It is covered in fondant with fondant roses. I won the purple ribbon and can go to the state fair, but it is in Sept. and a couple hours away, so we will see. Also my cake was chosen to receive an extra prize, I got to pick a prize from the Wilton company and it is being sent to my house! I'll take pics then.
