This past Sunday we made a super cute cake for a baby shower. I have to admit, I have not worked with much fondant since we have moved to Colorado from Georgia. I was not sure how the fondant would react to such dry weather. And to be honest, the first go round was a bit of a disaster. Now I have to admit, I love to procrastinate-actually I call it my artistic thinking time. I need time to think and plan and think and plan the cake; colors, size, shapes. And them Bam! I have an idea. Luckily with this cake, I knew going it was it was going to look like. So I started on Saturday with the plan of covering the cake and doing all the detail work on Sunday morning before the shower. I was very proud of myself for having this cake covered and ready to go by the end of the day on Saturday, little did I know that my fondant was cracking like crazy. Oops, a little too much cornstarch. That meant Sunday morning I was up at the crack of dawn to recolor and recover the cake. But, I am happy with the finished product and more importantly-the mom to be was thrilled!
Now we have a dragon cake for Saturday. I am ready to forgive fondant for cracking on me last weekend, but I will not be so forgiving if it happens again!
