This cake is so small (6x4 carved), yet gave me more hassle than any cake yet! I am so glad it is done, and am soo anxious to find out if the person receiving it tomorrow likes it. Hopefully they aren't as picky as I am! Where do I start, my fondant (Toba Garrett's) was way too soft, kept tearing and cracking etc. Very fine cracks but still. using MMF I never had that problem! Then, for some reason (never happened before) my fondant started to bulge, and eventually wrinkled at the bottom. I don't think I am ever going to use this fondant again, and it's a pity! It is SOO nice to make, easy to roll etc. Just way too soft.

Anyhow, it is a scratch yellow cake, also from Toba's book. I torted each layer, so there are three layers of whipped ganache filling. I baked it in a glass baking dish and carved it to size, BC and then covered. All accents are fondant, too. The colors are the person's college colors, as you may have guessed they just graduated and are to become an anesthetist =)

A big thank you to member candoo for the inspiration, this cake is based on one of hers entitled "anesthesia cake".
