Sunday Sweets: A Memorial Day Salute
May 28, 2017 Today's Sweets are dedicated to the brave men and women who've given their all for our country. We are forever in their debt.
First to fight for the right,
And to build the Nation’s might,
And the Army goes rolling along.
;)
;)
Some super heroes wear capes around their necks.
Others wear dog tags.

From North and South and East and West
The Coast Guard's in the fight.
Destroying subs and landing troops,
The Axis feels our might.

Off we go into the wild blue yonder,
Climbing high into the sun!
By the Disney chefs at Shades of Green
Souls of men dreaming of skies to conquer
Gave us wings, ever to soar!

We live in fame or go down in flame. (Hey!)
Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!

Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh!
Farewell to foreign shores,
We sail at break of day, of day.
Through our last night on shore,
Drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more.
Here's wishing you a happy voyage home!

From the Halls of Montezuma,
To the shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land, and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean:
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marine.
;)

Wow, wow! These are wonderful! I keep scrolling up and down, looking at the details on each cake. This is a perfect tribute for the day. Thank you!
PS: second cake from the bottom, can someone tell me more about the dog watching from the top layer?
@Chicago: It's a bulldog, which the Marines adopted as their mascot, I presume because of its vaunted traits of toughness and refusal to give up.
Thank you for including the Coast Guard. Too often they are the forgotten branch of the armed services.
Those are some of the best cakes I have ever seen. They are just amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. Love your website!
#3 from the top is amazing--is that really ALL fondant?
These cakes are wonderful, Jen. Thank you for a very fitting tribute to the women and men who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Gorgeous.
Thank you for putting these up.
