Cake Decorating

The kids and I have been watching Food Network, learning about cake decorating. They have shown cake competitions a lot recently, and it looked like so much fun! So I looked up a cake recipe and a fondant recipe, and tried them out.

Fondant makes a cake MUCH easier to cover than regular icing, and it looks much smoother. Here’s ours:

That’s really pretty! Was the fondant hard to make? I’ve seen cakes like that before and always figured it was difficult to do. LOL!
Good job!

How did it taste? My dd who does cake decorating does not like the flavor of fondant so refuses to use it…

That is SO pretty.

I’m a cake-making flunkie. Wal-Mart … I buy them from Wal-Mart.
