After my first disaster with my first fondant cake, I decided to have another go at making a fondant cake!
Towards the end of April I decided to make my son's 4th birthday cake!
This time, I had enough time to read up on decorating cake and how I NEED to level the cakes before covering it with Fondant and found out there was fondant called MMF (MarshMallow Fondant). I decided I would use the marshmallow as this cake would now be for my son and what child doesn't like marshmallows?
I made the cake and trimmed the top, doing not a good job at that and then turned my attention to the MMF. It was the easiest icing I had ever done, while I was mixing I was a bit worried because it didn't seem to be getting to the consistency as the fondant...it was all sticky and gooey and the more icing sugar I added, it just didn't change!
After a WHOLE bag of icing sugar, I finally got my fondant to the consistency I thought it should be.
I stretched it out and covered my cake and it looked amazing! Well, I thought it did anyway. My son loved his Buzz Lightyear themed cake---hahaha---yes his Buzz Lightyear themed cake!
I was so happy with the way this cake came out I decided to make another one for his class, so they can celebrate with him on that day. This time, I make a windmill themed cake---and everyone had a windmill to take home with them.
The kids at the school was happy enough with the cake and the windmill---which I bet they thought was the better of the two...hehehehe
