This Easter I took on the project of making a cake covered with Fondant for the first time. Probably wasn't the best time to try seeing how I was also having brunch for the entire family and I was working late during the week at my job...it didn't leave me a lot of extra time to take my time on it. But I figured practice makes perfect and I would make this a learning experience!! I think (my opinion) it came out pretty good. The Fondant I used was Satin Ice-Vanilla flavored...it's so yummy, a little pricey but so much better than the crappy ready-made stuff you can buy in the stores. I made a Carrot Cake for the ears and just boxed Funfetti cake mix for the middle since the kids and some of the adults coming to brunch love it. The fondant dries out really quick especially when you mix in powdered sugar to keep it from sticking when rolling it out. After many trial and errors of covering the cake with it I finally was able to get it....it was very hard to smooth out the ears seeing how they were weird shaped but I did my best! :)
Your cakes are beautiful, I am planning to move in the area and is looking at the small business available. Keep doing what you are doing and I wish you lots of success
