My best friend comes to me about making a birthday cake for her two boys whose birthday is within a month. Her niece also has a birthday within this time. She wants to try her hand at a fondant covered cake. I have never done this before. I always do just regular iced cakes. She wants my help. So, we both do some research on working wiht fondant. We find a good receipe for Marshmallow fondant. She goes ahead and makes the fondant in a variety of colors but needs my help with covering the bigger cakes. Her and her niece make three 4X4 cakes and cover and decorate them. Those turn out awesome. Well, I cover the other two cakes and decorate them. This cake turned out a lot better than I anticipated. I think that if I make any other cakes then I will cover them in fondant. It was so much fun.
