I'm still hoping to get mine done. Ended up in the hospital after a mild heart attack and will be having a heart cath and most likely stents put in tomorrow so we didn't make the trip to Madison after all. But I still have a slight delay in getting my entry done.

I was also planning to use Rice Crispie treats for my basic foundation, so thanks for the tip about letting it set overnight!!

Hope everything goes well for you Miss Blooie

Um, yeah.... After seeing that peacock all I can do now is milk those sympathy points for all they're worth!!

LOL! Hope you are feeling better soon, @Blooie .

I know what you come up would be outstanding - but do take care of yourself.

Good luck on your cath tomorrow

30 minutes after posting my entry, the basket fell apart - wish I had posted a pic, it would have given those rockin' deviled eggs a run for their glory.

Here my cake. I never decorate a cake before I just frost them very badly. Marshmallow frount is pretty fun to play with!
