practice makes perfect


in preparation for lindsay's arrival on sunday i made two mini cakes for us to fondant, using the techniques i learned in my course yesterday. this picture is one of them following the 'crumb coat' step, before the final mask. this time i made two-layer vanilla mini cakes with chocolate swiss meringue butter cream filling and vanilla frosting.

once she arrived we started playing with fondant! see below...

it turns out that covering such small round cakes with fondant is more difficult than i thought it would be :) good thing i had a patient instructor! eventually the cakes looked like this...



and then i was let loose on her butterfly shape cutters!!! it was a bit messy...but so fun! thanks for all the tips and tricks bevi :) xo
