This is the cake I made for my cousin's baby shower last Saturday. The cake flavor I made was one I have previously posted. I was practicing. I also made the cupcakes. This was my second time using fondant and a bit of a mishap due to the chocolate. I had brown food coloring but when I was adding it to the fondant it was a clay color not brown! What to do in so little time before I had to leave. So I had to use cocoa again which dries out the fondant,those of you who use fondant would know this. So I didn't get a dark brown look like I wanted and it was a bit harder to work with because of it being dry. Anyways, it turned out alright. I actually preferred my practice cake the week before. Oh well. The baby's room is decorated pink & brown and the comforter has a ladybug on it, that's why I went with making the ladybug on top. My cousin and everyone loved it so I guess that's all that matters. I really need to take cake decorating classes.

It looks amazing!! I love the colors.... very classy. Fondant can be a bit finicky, but it looks like you have it down! The cuppies look beautiful as well.

ReplyDeleteI've never worked with fondant, but love to watch them use it on Ace of Cakes! Your creations are so cute, despite your difficulties... you should be very proud of yourself, really!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I've still never used fondant, so I'm very impressed by anyone who can make it look halfway decent. Yours is very professional-looking!
