yesterday I tried fondant for the first time. it was pretty simple to make and can use it almost right away. it tastes really good too.
anyway here are two pictures, I only used half on that cake, so I have another half of the fondant to play around with still =)
Nice job. You said it tastes good? What fondant are you using? I'd use it too if it tastes good.
Pretty cake! What recipe did you use? MMF or something else?
Beautiful! I can't believe it came out so flawless on your first try! You must be a natural 
I'd like to know what kind of Fondant you made that tastes good too! I would use fondant if I felt it tased edible.
Have you tried MMF? It tastes good on cakes, in my opinion, if you have buttercream underneath and roll it as a thin layer on top! You can add flavoring to it too.
That looks great!
I have not yet covered a cake in fondant. I've just used it to create things. I am going to have to do a practice to get the hang of it. I keep thinking about using it when I do a new cake, but always chicken out.
Hope mine looks half as good as yours... it looks sooo smooth.
If your first fondant experience is this great, you'll soon be the one we come to for help and hints! Great job!
Aw thanks everyone! it was fun to work with, I'll have fun today playing with the rest from the batch I made.

I am not sure, it was shortening from my inlaws. to be honest I'm assuming it was from Aldis. sorry I can call and ask tomorrow =)
I'll try it with crisco next time and tell you how it is. I have never tasted store bough fondant, or anyother fondant, but I hear its not very good.
however this I had 2 pieces of cake with =)
Very nice cake I will have to try this recipe I have only used wilton in course 3 and it was horrible tasting. What kind of flavoring do you use

Yes, I've noticed that the general consensus on this website is that Wilton's is not the best tasting! And I agree!
MMF is rather good! I will try this new recipe as well however!
oh wow, I guess I will have to try it out with crisco for sure to see if it is more greasy, I dont find mine to be. I'll definitely have my husband call tomorrow and ask what shortening it was. =)
mgsells I did not use any flavoring aside from the vanilla that was added
