Fondant Cake & Frame!

Last week my friend had her 38th birthday so I attempted to make my first fondant cake. It was interesting to say the least. First I made the fondant which went pretty well considering I had never made it before or even watched anyone make it before. Then I baked the 2 - 8" round cakes and made the buttercream frosting. When the cakes were ready for frosting I made some vanilla pudding and put that in between the layers and sprinkled some huckleberries. I put it together and started frosting it and then realized it was still on the cooling rack. CRAP! So in my attempt to move it onto the cookie sheet the bottom fell apart and pudding started running out. I managed to keep it together enough to frost and figured who's going to know once the fondant is on. So the next day I rolled out the fondant and this is what my cake looked like. Not real attractive but let me tell you it was YUMMY! My friend loved it too. I also made her a collage picture frame to put her family portrait in and school pics for each of her kids. Even the baby on the way's picture.

Here's the cake

Correne, Myself and her frame.



Correne, her Hubby, & her BELLY!

If you can tell what she's doing...you'll know that she is the best at it!




All in all it was a fun day and I think she enjoyed the cake and frame!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CORRENE!!!
