My First Cake with Fondant, Which I Like to call the Flop.

I made this cake for my good friend's son, Alex. She was really a good sport about it- as she knew I had never before attempted fondant- nor a tiered cake.....

Needless to say, the cake was somewhat of a flop- For starters, this novice baker forgot to put support between the cake layers! eek! And then, I made this homemade fondant that was pure h.e.double hockey sticks to work with. It tasted GREAT, but wasn't very smooth and couldn't be rolled thin enough......

Talk about learning from experience, this was it. I really thing that I have grown alot in the fondant decorating, as well, as learned to use proper support inside the cake.

Thanks E-beth for letting me experiment on Alex's cake!
