So mommy looked on line for some ideas and decided that I wanted to learn to use fondant so I could make a cute castle cake for Karen's birthday. A friendly neighbor who used to work at a bakery and did fondant professionally offered to teach me how. It wasn't as difficult as I'd imagined, though a lot more time consuming than I'd imagined.
Don't look too close otherwise you'll see how imperfect it really is, but for my first attempt I think it turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. Karen told me that she didn't like the cake she LOVED the cake. It was nice to make my daughter happy on her birthday!
It's a lot of fun and quite satisfying to learn something new. Karen was very excited and the kids both loved watching as I decorated the cake.
We had a fun party in the morning with a friend and a cousin. That night we went out to dinner with Neils' family to celebrate Karen's birthday and mother's day. She thought her birthday was the greatest! Thanks everyone for making it great!

WOW - I must say that is very cool!! I'm very impressed. Karen is a very lucky girl.
So cool! I have decorated cakes but never tried fondant - good for you. Looks great, but how did it taste?
