Baby Shower Tea Party

What a great idea it was to do a baby shower tea party for the new little one on the way.  Who doesn't want to break out a cute dress, don a festive hat and maybe even a pair of gloves to enjoy an afternoon of tea and scones?  Little did we know it would snow 6 inches the day before and temperatures would hit bout 40 degrees for the party on Sunday...Friday it was 75!  I made this cake to match the tea bag favors (on top of cake in a tea cup).  One note, while fondant likes to stick to itself when it's fresh and in the warmth of your home, when you take it outside to freezing temperatures, not only does it help the detail items to stiffen, it also makes them want to pop off!  So bring extra gum glue or extract with you to re-apply once your cake has been through the freezer (also known as outside in March, in Missouri).  But it turned out okay, and no one knew what was missing except for me!  Hopefully baby Stull liked his cake!
