Adventures in Cake Decorating

So as many of you know, if there is something that has to do with crafts decorating ect. ect. I have to try it at least once. So for awhile now I have really wanted to try making Fondant and then decorating a cake with it. Well I tried last night and am pretty happy with the outcome. Mason will be turning one on friday and I really wanted to make his cake with fondant but have never done it before so I decide I shold try it out at least once before attempting to do his. i loved it so much I cant wait to do it again. Since this one was practice I let Jarrin help pick the colors and this is what we came up with. I cant wait to do Masons and attempt a layered cake. so stay tuned for more cake pictures. I think I have found another hobby much to my husbands dismay;)

Are you kidding me? That is so adorable! I love it! You are so talented Becca! I too have always wanted to try fondant and haven't ever been brave enough. I love to make and decorate cakes for my kids' birthdays and they look so forward to it. I just frost it with the bags and tips though and use a shaped pan for whatever kind of cake they want. Maybe I will get brave and try fondant. Is there a secret to getting it just right??

Is there ANYTHING you don't do?! You amaze me! We did this once as a family activity. I sectioned off the cake & let my girls have some fondant to use like play-doh on their own area & they had a blast.
