Jean and Dan's 40th Anniversary

My dear friend Christine, asked me to make a little something special for her parent's 40th wedding anniversary.  I have known the Williams' for quite a few years and nothing would make me happier than doing something nice to celebrate their very special celebration.  She planned a surprise party for them and it was so fun to see their faces when she opened the door to her home.   They were genuinely surprised! 
 
For their party I made a 10" chocolate fondant cake.  We decided to go with the ruby anniversary theme and make the colors read and white.   I also made chocolate cake pops to match.  I wanted to try a new design. Something different from other cakes I have made in the past and I knew I wanted to use flowers. This is what I came up with.  I received so many compliments that my head barely fit through the door when I left!  It was such a great day and I was so happy to be a part of it. 
 

Happy 40th Anniversary, Jean and Dan!
