Ellie and the Cake

Little Miss Ellie is slated to arrive
On July 4th or it could be 5!
So we stopped to shower baby Ellie with love,
with diapers, and highchairs, and more clothes than we can speak of!
Aunt Tara was honored to be asked to bake
A square concoction of Granny's recipe for cake.
So bake I did, and frosting from scratch arose,
and cursed the day a square cake I chose!
But on to the fondant I knew not how to use,
But give up - never!  I absolutely refused!
Baby Ellie deserved the cutest and glammest of cakes,
So I bought the Duff stuff from Michael's for the fondant he makes.
White fondant with added coloring of yellow, brown, and green,
With the pre-made black fondant, It was the prettiest I'd seen!
Rolled out and pressed and left overnight,
The next day it was ready for attachment - oh what a fright!
Toothpicks were helpful to keep it in place,
And inspiration by my side I made quite a haste.
And with prayer & luck, Miss Ellie's cake was soon done,
And boy was the family's reaction sure fun!
Miss Ellie's party was beautiful, with green & black, and flowers,
Aunt Amanda should really go into business doing showers!
So is the story of Ellie and the Cake and fun galore,
We cannot wait to meet you Ellie, for us all to adore!
