I LOVE this site, I have found that hours pass by without notice just looking through the pics, there are some talented decorators on here.

I have taken the courses and made cakes for friends and family. I have a friend who I will be making a 4 tiered wedding cake for. I have a few questions if I can.

1. She wants black and white alternating tiers, will the black fondant bleed?
2. I am going to try the white chocolate fondant receipe I saw on here, is there a dark chocolate recipe, and then do I just add black colouring to it?? I have seen the satin ice, I may just try that??? I'm in Canada, (toronto).
3. She saw a pic of a cake with a round and then hexagon, round, hexagon. I have covered round with fondant but I would imagine that the hexagon might be a challenge, any advice??
4. Anyone have any advice for this first timer to make this go off without a hitch and not a nightmare!!!!!

Thanks for all your help.

My first fondant covered cake was a hex...very easy. You won't have a problem, just do a small practice cake.

I love black satin ice!! If you use white to start with you have to use so much black coloring that the fondant gets soft and impossible to work with.

As far as knowing all the cool details of covering cake in fondant, I got Sharon's dvd's and never looked back. I had to do a cake recently and whatched her dvd the night before, i have never had a cake go smoother.

She has all the fun tools you need too!

The black SatinIce is actually vanilla. Close your eyes and you probably won't know what color you're eating.
