ok this cake gave me trouble from the very start! Nothing went right, and to top it off, this triple digit Texas heat just disintegrated the black fondant....as if black fondant wasn't difficult enough to begin with! AND this was my first time using a stencil. How the heck do you keep from getting the royal underneath the stencil? Uugh! Luckily this was for a friend who was EXTREMELY gracious about the cake! I would have been in tears if this was for a customer!
