Well everybody I finally did it, I put my resrvatiosn aside and did a fondant cake and I am so pleased with how it turned out, I may never go back to buttercream LOL!!!!!!! It took me a few tries to get the right thickness and to roll it out right but when I got it, it is wonderful. I used Jennifer Dontz's recipe and it is awesome. I am ready to do more LOL!!!!!!
I did this cake for our god sisters baby shower
Sharon's DVD's are awesome and also Jennifer Dontz's DVD's as well I just kept looking at them over and over again and even when I was actully doing my cake I had the dvd playing so that I could watch it and pause it to make sure I did things right. Thank You for your wonderful comments
Really nice job!
Any tips/secrets/concerns you came across as you did this first fondant cake that you wold share?
I'm sure it depends on what kind of fondant you use but I used Jennifer Dontz's recipe that you add the white chocolate to the pettinice. I had read about how tempermental MMF can be and I had made that once before and wasn't happy others may get great results but I didn't, so I didnt even try to put it on a cake. One thing I learned was it is not easy trying to roll a big circle I had to redo it about 3 times and I was about to give up and I just said "Lord help me to do this" and He did because when I tried it again I got it right, that was the issue I had with the bottom tier but once it was on the cake, it smoothed so nice, no tears, elephant skin or anything. Then when I got ready to do the top tier, I rolled it to thick, so when I put it on the cake, I got the elephant skin and tearing, so I took it back off and rolled a fresh piece and rolled it thinner and worked great. You have to be careful not to roll it too thin, there was one spot (hidden by a flower) where it was a little thin, but other than that it was a dream to work with. And the taste of the fondant is really good I just wanted to sit and eat it. So I say, be sure to get your circle big enough and do not roll it out too thick or too thin, you have to find that happy medium 
. Then to apply the fondant on the cake I used the method Jennifer Dontz used in her dvd, and it worked great. But overall it was great and now my concerns of fondant are over I hope LOL!!!!!
I love working with fondant. Turned out great!! 
Great job! How did you get that pattern and can you give me the recipe of Jennifer's fondant please? Thanks sooo much!
The quilting was done with a diamond cutter that I ordered from www.sugardelites.com which is Jennifer Dontz's website. As far as the recipe she directed me to have you all to contact her through her website or her email address which is [email protected].
What I used is called the diamond quilter it looks like 3 diamond shapes hooked together here is the item number Product ID: TOL007. Look under tools that's what I did it with.
I put the fondant on the cake then I quilted the bottome tier and then I put the top tier on and quilted that one.
