This was another, "Where's the cake???"
Well, it's not just the cupcakes............It's the basket, too.
The gnome is a rice krispie treat sculpture covered in modeling chocolate--fully edible execpt for the dowel rod supports.
The basket cake (serves 8) and the cupcakes are yellow cake with strawberry mousse filling, iced with vanilla buttercream and accented with modeling chocolate daisies.
I don't know the back story on why a gnome for Susie's 50th, but I hope she loved him.
