Hunny Pot Cake

The idea for the cake was simple, we decided after our 1 year old grabbed a pooh bear cup and would not let it go that Pooh would be his theme. We had been wanting to try a fondant cake for awhile and what better opportunity than a "hunny pot?"

We made 6 layers alternating between chocolate and vanilla and stacked them with royal icing between them. We then proceeded to carve the shape. We buttercreamed the whole outside of the cake and them draped it with blue fondant. Very ambitious for our first fondant cake--- we were up until 3 am working on it the night before. We were so tired and the fondant kept cracking. It started to be a nightmare but when we finally finished and got to see everyone's reaction, it was worth it.
