My babies, my red velvets, all finished and ready to be gifted away...I don't want to let you go...follow me day 4

That's quite some emotional attachment to a few cakes. 'My babies'?Seriously??!! 
It may sound a bit pathetic but I don't want to give the cakes away, I don't want anyone to cut them or eat them...look but don't touch!!

 Ok,ok, I am still going to gift them as intended but the work that goes into making these beauties is a true labour of love. And they look so pretty too. I'm sure they'll be appreciated and enjoyed too...so heres what I was up to.

The last time, I made the sugar flowers, so all I needed to do was cover the cakes with fondant, add ribbon to the cakes and put the flowers on top...and that's exactly what I did.
Here I've rolled out the fondant to 4mm in thickness

It's time to cover and smooth the fondant over the cakes...must take your time and not rush

The mini cakes finished off with cream ribbon and flowers on top

And here they are all ready and wrapped up. A lovely little pre wedding gift. I wonder if any one would buy these...it might be a new buisness venture...who am I kidding ;-)...

I hope you enjoyed following my journey making these mini cakes.
