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!
