I have found a new interest in decorating cakes with fondant. I have found a few good links via google that make it look way easier than it really is. I first started by making some fondant animals for Benjamin's birthday cake since we are having a zoo/safari theme. I definately like the lion and the elephant the giraffe is a work in progress.
I then tried to make my own fondant which wasn't too bad. All you need is marshmallows, water and powdered sugar, but the key is to not overmix which I unfortunately did. I have had this grandeouse idea that I was going to make a three tiered birthday cake with homemade palm trees, a watering hole and all of the fondant figures, needless to say I am way over my head. So the picture below is a scaled back version of my first attempt at Benjamin's cake.
To be continued.....
