AI'm a self taught baker looking for friends and guidance! And hopefully one day ill be brave enough to decorate in fondant. currently restricted to buttercream and it SOOO limits my options :( Anyway, here's some of my latest cakes. Nice to meet ya'll!

AWelcome to CC! Find yourself a good fondant recipe and practice, practice, practice, there are plenty of how to videos on you tube, and tons of information on this site. Good luck to you.
AWelcome! A turntable is one of my favorite tools, it would really make your life so much easier.
Proper turntables can be pricey, but even a dollar store lazy susan will do the trick for lighter cakes. Get that and a bench scraper, and you will be in heaven icing your next cake :)

Just googled bench scraper! Who knew! I definitely need one.
Soooo you saying it's not called a cake turner thingy... It's a lazy Susan :) Got it!
I'm a desert bar caterer so I'm really comfortable with small confections. These cakes are new to me, but so much fun!
Welcome! Cakes are a lot of fun and I think you will love working with fondant! This is my favorite fondant recipe right now. I usually have the ingredients on hand, and everyone who has tried it says they love it. Well, except for my mom, but she hates all fondant. :)
AThere called turn tables or lazy susans depending on where you get it. I have a wilton turn table that I bought from Michaels craft store using a 40% coupon , but my husband bought me a really nice one for Christmas at bed bath and beyond. Welcome to cc and HAPPY BAKING :grin:

A proper turntable is amazing to work with, but a lazy susan is certainly better than nothing :) Cake turntables are raised, can be tilted and a good one can hold a huge tiered cake, a lazy susan is usually flat and I would never try more than a 1 tier cake at a time on it.

First attempt! Thanks everyone for the encouragement. It was easier than I thought!
