Working with Fondant Icing

Several people expressed interest in how it was to work with the fondant for Suzy's birthday cake. If that was you, you're in luck, since I had James take some photos of us creating the cake. Each [hoto has captions describing what we did.

The fondant was much easier to work with than I had anticipated. However, it was also more expensive than I anticipated. I bought a 2 lb. container for about $14.00. We only used about half of it though. What I bought was Satin Ice fondant. They had smaller packs of several colors of Wilson fondant, but it didn't fit what we needed. A brochure came along with it that helped me figure out what to do. As I said, it wasn't too intimidating.



The funny thing? Suzy didn't EAT any of the cake. She only wanted ice cream. Oh well! LOL

Miss you too. We'll try to make it to a park day or beach day this summer but first we need to get through baseball and the boys' annual camping trip with the grandparents (my vacation @ home). Sounds like things are going well with you. Blessings!

That looks like fun to make. I've never made a "fun" cake for my kids, one day I want to. And I like those cake shows that are on TV now, fun, fun.
