My very first fondant cake !

Long , long time ago ...

I got carried away... My sister sent me set of powder food colours. My daughter asked for a cake and I could not resisted . We baked the cake and then le loose. 

We coloured the base of the cake soft green but as it was powder colour - there were spaces on the cake with uneven amount of colour - which looked good ! Then we made a lilly pod and frog. 

Icing cake soon after as well as pink royal icing flowers and pink sugar ...

As I said - well carried away!!!

Just as well it got eaten fast !!!

Mo cake

Someone asked me the other day how did I start baking..

Well this is my very second fondant cake . I baked sponge cakes many times before but never actually decorated one . My friend is professional baker but she was not willing to share a secret of fondant. My other friend was not baker and she managed well . 

I said to myself  - I must try it ! At least for once!

So I baked a cake and made cream cheese icing for very first time. I filled my cake with jam and icing and then coloured my fondant blue . As I was processing the fondant it became marbled blue and I decided that was pretty. 

I covered my cake and cut out some flower circles and letters Mo. 

I made up the royal icing and made flowers with silver sweets on it. 

I surprised myself really ! Not that bad for a amateur is it ?!
