Kim, your cake is so pretty! I love all the flowers and the butterflies!
Thanks! When she asked me if I could make her cake, I was so excited. I was wanting another practice cake. I didn't mind that it kept me up until 2:00 in the morning because I was watching coverage of hurricane Ike anyway. And DH is trying to bring other computer back to life.
If I'm not mistaken, it's her daughter's 10th birthday, so I'm sure she'll like it since my daughters do!
I'm sure that she will, Kim. I hope that you are safe from the storms there in Louisiana

OMG Thank you sooo much suchie6! 
That is exactly what I was looking for! You are a godsend to me this morning.
Well, I am heading back to the kitchen to put the final icing on my castle cake. I have 3 hours to get this done. I'm gonna have to work on the other cakes this afternoon.
kim your cake is very pretty, good job! i hope everyone made it through Ike okay and didnt lose their life savings to the gas prices (saw on tv this morning that some places were charging $5.50 a gallon!!!).
aww man i forgot about friday night cake club, oh well see you next week!!
Petit fours = major PITA.
OK, here goes, and you're going to have to visualize.
Make a sheet cake. fill or not, your choice. Frost the top with a thinnish layer of bc. Freeze.
Make poured fondant. The Wilton recipe actually works. Don't let the temp go higher than 92F. Us a thermometer.
Get a cooling rack that's a grid, or criss cross two. Set them on 4 tall drinking glasses. Make sure the height of the glasses = the height of the skewer you're going to use two steps forward.
Pull sheet cake out of freezer. Cut into squares. The size is 2-3 bites.
Put a skewer into the cake piece. Dip it in the poured fondant. put the skewer with the now frosted cake thru the cooling rack so that the skewer is hanging below the grid. Pull out the skewer. Your fingers never touch the petit four and since you're dipping it, it gets covered completely. The freezing produces fewer crumbs in the poured fondant, and causes the fondant to set up quickly on the petit four.
That is a cool idea with the skewer! I assume you put the skewer al lthe way through, put the cake on the rack with the part that doesnt have icing on it down and pull through? Or do you cover the entire cake with icing?
okay, here is everything that we did this weekend. Keep in mind that I did actually have help this weekend, THANK GOD she does such great work
