These are really good cookies with a vanilla/almonde cream sandwiched in the middle. The are very sweet and tasty! They are actually called Doozies, but my husband and brother in-law call them Moozies.

Red Velvet Wedding Cake

I made a wedding cake this week, and learned so much, but had loads of fun making it! I had a friend that was so kind to share a receipe that was given to her so many years ago. And I have to say it is one of the best cakes I have ever tasted, very rich! The wedding cake was Red Velvet 3 tiers, 3 layers in each tier, with a cream cheese frosting in between each layer and coated on the outside, then topped with a Marshmallow Fondant. You heard me MMF! It is quite tasty! Lots better than that other fondant. I had a friend that supplied the recipe for me. I never wanted to use fondant cause it tasted so bad, but with this recipe I will be able to lots of things. They pick Marine colors (Navy Blue, Red, and White). The ribbon is navy blue, with Red Roses.

It took three days to make it all, but it was worth it! It turned out beautiful!

I started first with making the fondant roses and leaves, which turned out better than I thought! I made 22, but really only used 11.

I used the aluminum foil to help shape the leaves as they dried.

I finished putting the MMF on the cakes. I didn't need to worry about the edges, cause a ribbon was going to be around the cakes, so that would cover it up.
