In tonight’s Wilton III course, we completed our first fondant cake. Fondant is disgusting. I tried flavoring it but it still tastes terrible. I think it’s the texture really, not necessarily the flavoring. It feels like you’re chewing a) really old gum or b) sugary play-doh. I have never met anyone who likes eating it.
I decided after getting home that I hated the original bow design that was on top of it. There was a giant bow made out of fondant that draped over the edges. I ripped it off and threw it out, replacing it instead with some chocolate buttercream roses. Yum!


Looks good enough to eat! I’ll be taking it into work tomorrow as promised. Hopefully the guys like it, even though it has flowers on top.

I stopped by earlier, but your blog wouldn’t let me comment. Humph! Anyway, that is a BEAUTIFUL cake…. but I couldn’t eat the fondant. I think it’s icky. I would gladly pick it off, spread one of those buttercream flowers around and eat the cake, though. YUM! You’re getting great. I’m telling you – soon you’ll be a one-stop wedding chapel. (Cakes! Photography!) Better move to Vegas!
All I need is a license to officiate and I could open my own wedding business… Hmm.. then again, I couldn’t even stand myself as a bride; I don’t think I could stand random other maniacs for a living!
