Finally got a nice sunny day so that the kids could enjoy being outside! Kids had a blast in the homemade sprinkler and my first attempt with marshmallow fondant was a success. Kids and adults ate every bite! Overall a great party.

    Awesome cake! I hadn’t heard of marshmallow fondant. Does it taste better than the traditional fondant? Would you mind sharing where you go the recipe from? Thanks!

    @WAM: Tastes like chewier buttercream frosting! Definitely better than traditional fondant. I got the recipe from a YouTube video. I'll post it on here.
