First Fondant Cake
This was the cake that we made for my son's 2nd birthday. It was our first attempt at baking a cake from scratch, and also decorating with fondant. First we got a highly rated white cake recipe from a recipe website and then read up on working with fondant. We first baked the cake and let it cool and made the buttercream icing. After letting the cakes cool and covered with icing we started the tedious task of working with the fondant. They definitely make it look easier on T.V. than it really is! After about 3 hours of work this was the finished product.
