I tried fondant last week and to cover a couple more oval cakes. I just made it out of mini marshmallows and water. You can find the recipe here. I only made half the recipe (it makes a lot - covered both little cakes and still had some left over). It is so cheap and easy to make! I first made a little graduation cake for Brenan who is graduating from BYU this week! I piped the Y with royal icing and made dots to cover the sides out of the same icing.
Next, I had seen this piping techniques used on TLC's 'Ultimate Cake Off.' They had done the piping with chocolate, but I did it with yellow royal icing right onto my blue fondant. It took forever but it was so much fun. I'm addicted and I pretty much want to bake cakes and decorate them every day.
Ack! I love your cakes SOOO much! I have always wanted to learn how to decorate and do fondant and all that fun stuff.... Good Work Bethel!
