I have a question??? I am taking Wilton cake class Course3, Well lastnight I had to do a cake with Fondant, and in 2 weeks I have to do a wedding cake, well I can either do the one in course 3 book or find one to do.......What is easier to do, one with fondant or one with icing......I'm not very good with flowers....What would be easier to do????? I'm thinking of doing the fondant one, but then I'm not sure.....I did buy me a wilton book on wedding cakes, I know my cake could ever look like one of those....

Thanks
Betty

How did you do with the fondant? Are you comfortable with it? I'd base my decision on how comfortable I was with the different mediums. Do you know what style of cake you're wanting to do? I'd say fondant is a lot more work. If you're doing a wedding cake for class, I'd not worry too much, just have fun, but if it's for an actual wedding do what is most comfortable. : )

it is for class....no I'm not ready to do a wedding cake for a real wedding...I be to scared and nervous.....lol......Fondant was fun, but it reminded me of playdough......I'm still trying to decided.....I will post my fondant cake later when I get it on my computer.......


I have a few days to think on what to do.......

thanks

I think fondant is fun to work with too. If you had fun the last time you used it, it might be the way to go. If you have any cutters, making flowers with fondant can be even easier than doing them with buttercream or royal.

I thought it was fun, but alot of work......yes I made my first rose out of fondant, sort of looked interesting after I finished it......lol


I think since this is more the fondant way to go, I might just do that.....guess I better get on moving on my roses......lol

Fondant gets easier every time you do it the first time is always the hardest. Practice your roses often and you will get it. Good luck you can do it.

Be sure to post your finished cake here for all to see! Good luck to you. : )

FOndant, Fondant , Fondant........

Thanks...I decided to go with fondant...I started making my roses and leaves.......I know it is 2 weeks away, but I know how time flys....It goes by like no tomorrow.....


Thank you all
