Fondant

Today I spent the afternoon with the AMAZING Erin. We all are trying to convince her to follow her passion and gift and open a cake shop. Her cakes are to die for!!! Well today she shared her tricks and taught me a few tips for working with fondant. I have been avoiding working with it and fearful of his difficult it would be. I learned it is really just adult "play dough." I had a great time and she helped me start my Dad's cake. I brought the cake home and finished it up the day before the party. It turned out not bad for my first attempt. I think if I was more of an expert I would try drawing the white fondant that wrapped it to look like a giant map. Perhaps I can try that with my next Route 66 party.
