A true Kansas Cake!

I heard from the weather man that the coming weekend should be the peak in fall colors.
I love fall and am so excited to breath in the beauty of the fall air this weekend!

Last weekend I had this huge cake due for my son's former teacher. Her friends were throwing her a big surprise bash! She loves sports, but more so, she loves Kansas teams, so this cake was (hopefully) perfect!

A bit of a challenge as I am still supposed to be spending my days "down". With no lifting or bending. I have become master of kneading with only my arm muscles, sitting while putting fondant on cakes, ect. I'm not sure I'll know what to do once I am able to stand!

The funny story behind the delivery of his cake is this: On a crazy Friday we drove 30 min. to deliver this. The address I had was wrong, but we found the place. Since I cannot lift, my hubby had to go in. I watched through the windows as he tromped through pockets of people, weaving in and out, smiling, waiting for the recipient to come toward him.
No such luck.
Instead, he ended up back at the car. I seems we were one day early on the delivery. OOPS! I'm not sure how it happened. I wrote the (wrong) date down on 3 different calendars!
However, the next day, we got the cake there- on time and everything:) Although not without a bit of embarrassment!

This cake has gumpaste plaques- written on with edible markers, then painstakingly painted with food coloring and a tiny tiny brush. Obviously, everything else is fondant.
