First I started out by researching A LOT on the internet about icings and fondants and the tools and pans that you need to be successful at making cakes!! I found a really simple recipe for fondant using marshmallows, so I made it this morning and boy was that a pain, STICKY STICKY STICKY!! I had to put that in the fridge for most of the day, so tonight after supper I made my cakes and went to town, I had my dad come over THANK GOD because that fondant was a two man job (especially it being my first time)!! So with the two of us we accomplised a 3 tiered, yes I said 3 TIERED cake!! I mainly wanted to figure out the fondant tonight and see if I could even work with it or do it, and I am SOOOOO proud of myself for making it from scratch, rolling it out and putting it on the cakes!! AND it tastes good:) I messed around with some of the tips I borrowed as well, this could be FUN!! I still need LOTS of practice, but with lots of practice I hope will come success!! Plus I think I set the bar a little high tonight, a simple sheet cake would have been good!!
