This website inspires me every day! I tried this cake as a test run for a cake that I have to do in a couple of weeks. My first foray into fondant! It was tricky at first, but I think I am going to grow to love working with fondant. I am very happy with how my cake turned out. Thanks to roxy-d and all the other CC-ers out there for all your help!

Your cake is stunning. What cake did you use? is it a cake from scratch? You wll do well with fondant cakes

Wow that looks great! You'd never know it was your first try. I am starting to love working with fondant too. I used to dread it but lately I've been getting more practice and I actually prefer using it rather than buttercream now.

your cake is sooo pretty! I would have never guessed it was your 1st try! If this is your FIRST...just imagine what you can do!! Did you make the fondant or is it premade? If you made it..can I get the recipe? icon_wink.gif

Thanks for all the nice words. The cake is the White Almond Sour Cream recipe from CC -- soooo awesome. The bottom tier is filled with raspberry jam and the top tier is filled with nutella. The MMF is ntertayneme's recipe here on CC. Thanks for looking!

I use Plastic icing (fondant) on all my wedding cakes and on some of my birthday cakes and i think that it is a great icing that you can do anything with. I also use it to make my flowers and figurines.
Very well done if that your first time covering a cake with it! Im impressed!
