Pool Party Cake

Pool Party Cake on Cake Central

This was my 2nd attempt at using the largest oval pan from Wilton. I learned a lesson or two this time! I tried to do strawberry and chocolate together side by side. I learned that strawberry takes longer to cook than chocolate, and that if its not completely done on both sides, it WILL fall apart! The final product was solely strawberry. The accessories are all made of fondant. Learned I hate making Red fondant from White. That's why they are orange pool toys. Since I disliked making red so much, I decided to draw/paint the life saver's red stripes....did not work so well! OH...and if you wet the fondant, or freeze it, it will look extremely shiny...must learn how to make shiny fondant that isn't sticky! This was also my first time making buttercream from home, and it turned out so great!! I also got to get a whole new tip kit just for the white piping on the sides!
