Pink Birthday Cake

This pink birthday cake was made using a boxed cake mix(I know, sad but true) and homemade fondant for the covering. The fondant is made of equal parts melted marshmallow and powdered sugar. Super easy and tastes good! Add a little cornstarch to help the fondant hold it's shape if needed.

Just cut out strips of pink, red, and black fondant and lay them on the upper, white fondant tier. Where the strips meet, place a few fondant ribbon roses in the center of the cake.

The bottom layer is covered in pink fondant and decorated around the sides with polka dots in different shapes of white and black fondant.

I made this cake for a birthday dinner and before we even got candles on the thing people were eating the little fondant balls around the base.
