Strawberry cream filling with sliced strawberries.
Should have added more filling but was afraid the cake would slide around.

Mother's Day Cake
This weekend I did my first foray into fondant frosting. I made a cake for my mother-in-law.I used the marshmallow fondant recipe from Wilton. It was pretty easy. My neighbour suggested that since we live in a dry climate to only add half the powdered sugar and add the rest slowly. It worked out much better for me (thanks Jenny!). It was okay to eat; edible unlike real fondant, but I think I still indefinitely prefer cream cheese frosting. I had a little bit of trouble trimming the fondant off, which you can see at the bottom of the cake. I used the rest of the fondant to attempt cherry blossoms. I followed the tutorial off of this blog, but my flowers didn't end up looking very realistic. I ended up with my own type of stylized cherry blossoms, but I was still pleased.

Is there anything you can't do?
ReplyDeleteI can't whistle. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteWell there's gotta be something to balance out how ridiculously talented you are at everything else.
ReplyDeleteWoah - that is amazing! And the really impressive thing is that it actually looks delicious, too (a rare thing in pretty cakes.) You are now officially my idol.
