Elin's First Birthday Cake

I wanted to make something unique and special for Elin's first birthday cake. Then I remembered seeing a rotating cake online and I knew I had to make one. So with the help of my sister, Kathy, we bought some fondants, food colorings, a rotating system, and we make this lovely rotating hot air balloon four-tiered cake.

Making the pink fondant flowers.

Put them on the white fondant background.

The yellow ladybug.

The turtle.

The sheep.

Making the hot air balloons with the
moral support of my little Elin down below.

And it's done!

Elin loved the rotating hot air balloons!
