Springtime fun cake

With the weather finally warming up outside, I was in the mood to make a cake. I also needed to practice working with rolled fondant, since I'm making the cake for my upcoming wedding. I've never worked with fondant before, so for a first try, I think this cake turned out pretty well.

It's a simple 2 layer strawberry cake with a buttercream filling. I made the fondant from scratch, using a recipe I found online. I rolled the fondant out, and draped the cake. I just used my hands to smooth it. I took the remaing fondant and colored small sections. I rolled each color out again, and used cookie cutters to cut out the shapes. The circles were cut out using a bottle top.
