Actually it's my first time working w/ any type of fondant. I felt froggy so I made a batch of MMF using Rhonda's recipe. It turned out a little gummy feeling but since I've never handled any other type of fondant I have nothing to base it on.

I made doctored chocolate cake mix w/ strawberry cream filling. Iced it w/ bc icing and then attached fondant polka dots. All constructive criticism is welcome.

Thanks! I tried a different bc recipe and I just could not get that stuff to get a nice crust so I couldn't smooth it very well. It stormed here tonight so that might have had something to do w/ it.

It's very cute!

If you have some leftover fondant, you can try making duff-style roses...cut three circles, put them in a line with the edges overlapping, roll them up, and then cut the roll in half, and you get two fondant roses icon_biggrin.gif

Thanks for the tip. I have quite a bit left over. I halved the recipe but still had leftovers.
