wow!! that is an incredible concept for a cake!! I love it...how special is that! Can she keep the rice paper?

Wow! That is something to give her, great job on the cake!

Yes, I've made this so that she can keep the notebook and the rice paper. The notebook is sitting on sugar cubes so it doesn't "melt" into the BC. This teacher is awesome and all us parents just want to say "thank you" to her so we are throwing her a surprise birthday party in her classroom. The School's Director gave her approval for us to do this. So my contribution is this cake. I posted in the forum for help to come up with an idea and this is what develped from all the posts. Thanks ever...

Such a pretty display for the notebook! I think it looks wonderful.

wow, i had to look at the notebook again after reading that it was fondant!!! great job!!!!

Wonderful idea! Your flowers are amazing also.

what a wondeful, thoughtful idea that was! I"m sure that you made her year! thank you for sharing this!

So creative you are!! Great job

SHE LOVED IT!!! She knew something was up but first thing this morning we all showed up with flowers, balloons, breakfast, and this cake! She was in tears and said this was the best thing a class of parents had ever done for her in 18 years of teaching. She really started crying when she realized what the "notebook" said from her kids! Of course she's keeping the pages and the flowers. Pink roses happens to be here favorite too! Whew!
