This is my first fondant cake (I made a marshmellow fondant!) and probably my 5th cake I've ever decorated! I would love to take a course, but for now, it's internet tutorials and photos! 
This is a practice cake for my friend's little guy's 2nd bday in 2 weeks!
I need to get a fondant smoother (the store ran out, BOO!) and a turn table thingie. But so far, so good! I think it turned out pretty good for a first shot!
I'm going to have "Happy Birthday" and a big 2 on the top.
And some of the items the caterpillar ate! 
What do you think?
Any tips that you can see (other than the lack of a smoother?!)
I think you did an EXCELLENT job on it! Keep up the terriffic work!! I am also a youtube leaner 
Everything I learn I learn it from this website and google 
) ha!
Anyways- keep it up- all it takes is practice. I have only done about 4 or 5 cakes so far- check out my pics and keep up the wonderful work!
((Fondant smoothing just takes lots and lots of practice- I also work with MMF))
((make sure your butter cream - if thats what you use- is super smooth. ))
I use mmf for accents and figures...have not tried covering a cake but my wilton instructor said it will not work?..so i am in a dilemma cos mmf is much cheaper than those store bought fondant
She said MMF won't work to cover a cake? Is she smokin crack or what? Yes it will work because there are thousands on this site that do just that. Make a small cake and try it to see.
Did she say why mmf wouldn't work? I think it works fine. Tons of people on here use it.
