well after all
I just finished my most ambitious endeavour, ever! I just finished my first dance with fondant icing and it was a moderate success! The 3 tier cake is now in the fridge getting cold, and the biggest thing I learned is that when they say have a fondant smoother, they are not kidding! I will make sure that I get one before I do that again! Go thicker with the fondant rather than thinner, less icing is better, and icing sugar does work! So now my cake is done and I am exhausted. I baked the cake yesterday and then did the rest today, and just as I had hoped I was done WAY before I needed to, and I just have to go and get a drink umbrella for my cake, and I am epic done! I am praying that the rain is over, so that I can get this cake to its destination dry!
Here is a post of the said cake, and the various stages that it went through today.
The theme is “Beach Blanket Bingo”……so there we have it… a devil’s food cake with peanut butter buttercream cake with a beach theme, made out of fondant….the cocktail umbrella will make it fantastic! Not bad for a first time….lesson’s learned!
