cake...

I've been wanting to try a new white cake recipe, and Art has been encouraging me to try my hand at fondant. So after all my chores were done and no school work to busy up my Sunday I made that my project (not considered work because I do it for fun!)
I tried the new recipe - not bad, I haven't tasted it all frosted yet.
And then tried fondant.
The fondant went fairly well, the main issue is that I like a really soft cake and fondant likes a firmer cake. So it's a delicate balance to make both turn out. The main issue is that I don't like the straight sugar taste of fondant, but it is really fun to play with!
In my process of practicing I made two small cakes, one round and one square (for covering purposes). I decorated the round one with fondant and I'm going to decorate the square one with buttercream.

Here's the issue - now I have two cakes at my house. And no purpose for them.
So if anyone needs a cake, you just let me know!
