First Fondant Cake

I have never been a fan of fondant. I personally don't care for the taste, and after trying once, and failing miserably at doing a fondant cake I gave up, until now. This is not my first time successfully working with fondant (see picture below) but it is my first time successfully doing a cake!

I felt there was no better way to procrastinate my dull grad class work on grant writing than to bake a cake from scratch, make fondant from scratch, and decorate a cake. I was very pleased with how it turned out and plan to do more fondant cakes in the future, I guess I can add that to my frosting flavors!

Flavors!

I've tried a lot of flavors that I've really fallen in love with. My personal favorite is my carrot cake with cream cheese frosting...however a white cake with buttercream and custard and fresh strawberry filling is pretty spectacular too!

Welcome!

I've always loved baking, from the time I was able to walk I was helping my mom in the kitchen. Over the past few years I've taken an even greater interest in making cakes, cookies, and treates for anyone and everyone. One of my favorite places in the world is my kitchen with an apron on, music blasting, and a recipe in front of me. What I love the most is the happiness the things I create bring to other people. Whether it's taking a treat to work or making a cake for a wedding, I LOVE to make those around me happy. So, now's the time to take the next step and show off my work and cakes that I've done for friends and family.
