MOPS Cake



Tomorrow is the last MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) meeting for the semester. I was asked to make a cake for the occasion. It's frosted in buttercream. I patted the top layer with sprinkling sugar. The snowflakes and MOPS are made of royal icing. I then brushed them with lemon extract and white luster dust for sparkle. The snowflakes are so fragile, that I broke most of them trying to put on the sparkle. I hope they all make it to the meeting.

I hope we even have a meeting. We cancel if a certain school district cancels or delays due to weather (because we'd have too many children attending with their moms). And a storm is supposed to come in. Well, if we are canceled, I'll donate the cake to the church staff. They'll get the remainder of it anyway.

This is beautiful! I hope you get the chance to show it off, and enjoy your last MOPS today. We're getting snow today too - Jock and I are car-pooling and it's slow-going.
