I got the bright idea of making a fondant cake the other day, and here is the result of my very first effort at it! Thanks to everyone here for tips and the great MMF recipe! I think I did pretty good. Next time, I will definitely make my cakes taller, and roll the fondant thicker. I am already in love with luster dust though. I don't think anyone in my town makes specialty cakes either....hmmmmm. 
Great job for your first. Love the colors together and your findont looks nice and smooth.
That's an excellent effort for your first fondant covered cake!! Very smooth finish!
Thanks for the compliments everyone. So thinner fondant=good. I will remember that, thank you! Cut into it last night, and everyone thought it was great. One question though....when I removed the top layer, which was resting on a cardboard cutout on dowels through the bottom layer, the fondant on the bottom layer of cake was gooey. Normal? Seems like it is probably an unavoidable occurance.
my mmf gets gooey too under the top tier of cakes I think it is mde worse with the moisture of summer time and also i see that you piped the edges with buttercream? that could also be a contributing factor.
Just wanted to take this opportunity to welcome you to CC Jamie85364. This is a great place with wonderful people. Love your cake! I only use Satin Ice fondant so I can't help you with the gooey problem. Sorry.
