My Introduction to Fondant...

Our day started with a simple task, make a birthday cake for Adam! Armed with my talented and creative sister by my side - we got up early and went shopping for all the ingredients. As discussed before we had decided to make my boyfriend a Super Mario inspired fondant cake. This was my first time baking with fondant and although Jaclyn reassured me "it would be easy" I had a feeling our intricate drawings of what we wanted the cake to look like were a little far fetched. However, we continued with our plans and even brought up possibly owning our own bakery one day. You know like on Cake Boss! Oh, how quickly we took that one back!

After five hours of baking cakes, making fondant and attempting (for the first time) to make characters out of molding chocolate... we were forced to give up on our dream and accept what it had turned into. I loved it but my sister had the baking blues, she thought it could've been better!
