This cake was my first nightmare cake.... nothing went right from the cake board up. I tried to make chocolate fondant but it was too hard to work with. It cracked & was tearing so I had to peel it off of the cake & mix it with some of my regular white MMF. The texture was better but it changed the shade of brown, I didn't like the color so I pained it a darker color. I finally got the cake to a point that I was pleased with it but it took me all day to do it. Wish the chocolate fondant would have worked because the shade of brown was beautiful & it tasted really good, but was impossible. TFL
