Let Them Eat Cake!

So in my attempts to stay busy and avoid thinking about a few things I decided to try and make a fondant cake kind of like the ones on the TV shows. My long time friend Lacey decided that she would help me in this adventure and even though it did not turn out like we expected it gave us a whole day of adventures. Plus what girl doesn’t want a good reason to eat cake!

Our original plan was to make a fall colored cake with leaves and fall things. We soon found out that red is a very hard color to die in fondant and that my hands dyed a lot easier. So our bright colors came out and then we found star and flower cookie cutters. That led to this lovely creation.

The cake was a two-tiered French vanilla cake with chocolate frosting and vanilla fondant. It tasted wonderfully. So I am not ready to open my own bakery but I think will a little more time and practice I could get good at the whole cake decorating thing.
