adventure with fondant!

Today is my niece Kaitlyn's 10 birthday! She is in her double digits, scary I know. ;) Like my own kids I got a chance to make her cake and jumped on it. Hers is a little different then a dinosaur or tinkerbell. Karri and I researched different pictures and I had an idea of what I wanted to attempt and we ran with it. I decided the best way to do the decorating was to work with fondant. I have never touched the stuff but thought it would be a fun adventure, after all making cakes has turned in to one of my most favorite passions! It was lots of fun and I for sure would do it again. The overall cake was easy and I got through it, but ended up having some trouble with the bow. I had to use my scraps to do a new one. It looks pretty cute but I still have lots to learn and can't wait to do my next one!

Happy Birthday Kaitlyn hope you like your cake!


I cheated and used box cake. :)

The marble look pretty cool right before it went in to the oven
