Cinco De Mayo Cake

Cinco de mayo cake

A full sheet cake iced with a traditional buttercream and then decorated with fondant. I made my own marshmallow fondant (kind of a pain to work with)and made fondant figures/decorations by hand. For the sun, I made a ball of yellow and flattened it a bit so it would sit nicely on the cake, then made the triangle flares for the sun and attached them with toothpicks. I used chocolate jimmies for the cactus, using a toothpick first to make the hole, and then tweezers to place each jimmie in the holes.
This cake was so much fun to make and to serve. It was a BIG hit!!

Hey, love the cake! I am forwarding this on to a friend in Illinois who holds an annual Cinco de Mayo party. She might try attempt to make it on her own, but would probably prefer if you could make it and ship it!!! LOL.
