This is my 4th decorated cake and my first stacked cake. BC frosting (I tried the paper towel smoothing technique and screwed that up), fondant alien (made him too far ahead), and other fondant decorations. It was so much fun, though, and a great learning experience--i.e. little fondant balls are a pain to make and impossible to make all the same size, and don't put the topper on too soon (it makes the car ride a nighmare)! it was 100 degrees that day and the whole cake almost melted in my hands from the car into the house, but my friend loved it and it tasted good and I had a blast. TFL!
