Dresses and Tuxes

My cousin let me do his cakes for the rehearsal dinner, and I was soo excited because I've been wanting to do these little cake dresses since before i took the class. My other cousins, also his sisters, helped me and we made 8 little wedding dress cakes (the dress bottom is about 4 inches in diameter) and the tuxedo cupcakes (their colors are yellow and green). This was my first try with fondant: I feel like its cheating because yeah, its incredibly easy to work with - think play-dough - but most people don't like the taste. I tried to use as little as possible, and hid cream cheese frosting under the skirts and jackets to try to make up for it. They sure look cute though! (That thing on the sticks is supposed to be a parasol...it was too heavy and needed an extra support though which kinda ruined the effect... oh well). Oh, and in case you were wondering, there's homemade carrot cake under there - per his request. And to torture his brother, who shouted "I don't like vegetables in my cake!" when I asked what type of cake to make. Mwuahaha
