Welcome Home, Elder!

My older brother was in Canada for the past two years serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. He returned home a few weeks ago on April 25th. We had a homecoming party for him that Sunday, the 28th. I knew we would have a big crowd so I made a bigger cake than I usually do. This is an idea I got off Pinterest and modified a little bit.












 My fondant skills are really improving.
 I'm starting to get the hang of making, coloring, and rolling it out.
I was going to make a fondant tie, but I ran out of time. Then I was just going to drape one of Elder's ties around it, but the tie I grabbed had been worn a lot and not washed and Mom suggested not having a dirty tie on the cake, which is a really good idea. So I just grabbed some green cardstock and cut a quick tie. Its not like it was on their for very long anyways because everyone dug in as fast as they could.
