We visited family and had a fun time. More on my other blog, but as far as cakes go, here is the cake that I made with the help of my daughter, age 5, and my nieces, ages 9, 5 & 4.

HOT kitchen from the oven, the stove, the people = STICKY fondant. I was worried for a bit.
The girls helped color the MMF and the gum paste. We made a table cloth, plates, silverware, bread, peas in a bowl, cranberries in a bowl, and I had made earlier, the turkey and the candelabras. Here is the FUN-tastic cake.
