Here it is, not very good. I cannot get the icing smooth!
My friend called me Friday night and wanted a cake Saturday for her mom's birthday, she said to do whatever I wanted.
top is 6 inch chocolate fudge with srawberry/buttercream filling, covered in mmf. The bottom is a 9 inch french vanilla with strawberry/buttercream filling and covered in buttercream.
The rose is made from starburst.
critisism is welcome
Ineed all the help I can get, especiall y with smoothing the icing.
I put a dam around the top layer before filling but it buldged any way any suggestions?
IT IS IN MY PHOTOS
Your cake was very nice. I especially like your bright colors. I haven't tried to make a Starburst rose, but it looks very cute.
As far as getting a smooth finish, I think maybe it settled more after the fondant was added. I don't put the dam right at the edge of my cakes, I move it in just a little to allow for settling.
Once you add your layer of buttercream, let it crust and then smooth really well with a Viva papertowel. You will be amazed at how good your cake will look. Then, put your fondant on. I am far from an expert at fondant. I still have a lot of issues to work out.. I think it is just a matter of working with it and the more you do, the better you'll become.
Hope this is helpful to you.
