Fondant Birthday Cake
I have not used fondant since my Wilton class, and made my own using Toba Garrett's recipe (yummy, really!) However my lack of experience shows. I think I rolled it too thin (1/8t inch) and probably should have chilled the cake after putting the layers together and iced it to get is smoother. Could not find my icing bags (long story, re-doing craft room) so just used letter impressions on top, so the lack of royal icing letters does not do much for it either. Any suggestions/comments appreciated.
Your design is very pretty! Probably fondant could have been a little thicker, but its still a nice cake to look at.
I received a response from TobaGarrett's website - the fondant is supposed to be 1/4", not the 1/8th" I did - duh!
I really like the design. I like the letters pressed into the fondant
I just started making fondant too, it has gotten easier with practice. I did find rolling it a little thicker and a lot larger than the cake, and chilling it helped a lot. I didnt even need to use my fondant smoother that way. Very pretty design, It is very simple and elegant
