This was my second sale cake - made for a friend of a friend's 60th birthday party. It was a white cake with tinted batter and....
covered in a green marbelized fondant. Truth be told, I attempted to make tie-dye frosting but couldn't get it to work. I still do not enjoy working with fondant, but I've learned some new techniques and know I can make a better cake. The customer was very happy with this one though and their friend was pleasantly surprised.
Here is my final cake for the Wilton 3 class. This was my first time using fondant. I tried to marbleize the pink fondant for the bow. It was harder than you'd think, but turned out fairly well - for a first attempt anyway. This cake wasn't quite finished by the end of class (notice the lack of other decorations), but I managed to add a few more details.
Here is a more finished version of the above cake. The bow deflated in the fridge, but it was still a nice looking cake.
