Canucks Jersey Cake!

The homemade fondant is really amazing!! Tastes great, and works really well.   I coloured the fondant blue, while it was in melted marshmallow format, and it was so much easier than mixing it in the fondant whole.

This cake turned out great! I am so happy with how it turned out!

Check it  out!

Canucks Jersey Cake

NEW CAKE

So it turned out pretty great! The homemade fondant worked perfectly..(stuck to the table a little though)... BUT it tasted really good! People were actually eating the fondant...which NEVER usually happens!!

Also I used a new product from Wilton - a mold to create the shapes on the cake - it was pretty neat how well it worked.

Marshmallow Fondant!

Last night I made fondant! I cant believe how easy it was.  I got the recipe from: http://cakecentral.com/articles/105/mmf-how-to-decorate-cake-marshmallow-fondant The best part is that it tasted good to!

I haven't used it yet, but I am making a cake later tonight, so we'll see how it goes - i can't wait to try it!! I hope it works well, because I will be making fondant from now on if it does.

I went to Michaels last night and they have a whole bunch of new Wilton products out... it was amazing... I was like a kid in a candy store!!! I bought a few things - cant wait to try them all!!  Also the price of there ready-made fondant went up!!??  It was already too expensive... so the need for homemade fondant is now even greater!

NEW Cakes!

I just finished the Fondant & Gumpaste class at Michaels - so awesome, learned a lot!! The most important thing for fondant and gumpaste is shortening!(crisco)  I've been doing cakes for just over a year now, and I just only learned this...!??  It would have come in handy many times.

In the class I learned how to make some flowers and how to work with the fondant!  Can't wait to take the final class.  I've been staying fairly busy with cakes... but not too crazy!

Here are some of my recent cakes (including the one from the class, and some flowers)
