My First Fondant Experience

Well I finally jumped on the cake and fondant bandwagon and gave it a try! I was given a recipe for Marshmallow Fondant from a friend and fellow baker, so I figured I might as well. I made a homemade pound cake with homemade buttercream and chose to make this first cake with a baby shower theme. My love of pink and green came out along with my favorite, the polka dot! It took a few trials of rolling out the fondant, but it worked like a charm and was easier than I thought it would be. I was pretty impressed with myself! I learned not to roll it too thin and that a little gel coloring goes a long way, but the bright colors worked well. Thank goodness my co-workers love to eat my goodies because I was able to come home with a clean cake plate!

The Giant Cupcake

2010 is among us, and it's time to make cakes! The Christmas season of Cake Balls went extremely well, so now the baking begins for birthdays, showers, and other parties. I started with the giant cupcake. I was so excited to make this cake, I didn't care if it was eaten, I just wanted to make it! It turned out adorable and tastes good too! It is the perfect cake for a birthday, the cupcake lover, or anyone who just loves cake!
