Phyllis was great! She made the fondant covered Si cake & 24 oversized camo cupcakes (half were brown/green/white camo & half were pink/hot pink/white camo- google how to make them). Each cupcake had a fondant sculpted duck decoy! http://Find her on Facebook

Did you make Uncle Si fondant figure? If so, did you hand paint the fondant for the camouflage details, etc? Out of all the cakes I've seen for DD, this is the best Uncle Si ever! I also love all the party ideas!

My baker made him from Fimo. He was the only item that was not edible. She tried making him from fondant, but he wasn't as detailed as she wanted. The bonus was my daughter got to keep him! Thank you! It was a fun party!
