Wednesday February 17, 2010 | First Layered & Fondant Cake

This is my first attempt at a layered fondant cake. I made this for my mom’s birthday (as you can see). It was organic vanilla cake with homemade vanilla bean canolli cream with fresh blueberries.

I definitely need to work on my fondant work – I made it a bit too small and the corners started to crack. Also, I didn’t know how to merge the seams together. I definitely tried to hide these problems with those little white buds of royal icing – haha.

I also made gum paste flowers by hand – roses, random yellow flowers, and leaves filled with chocolate, and green veins with royal icing.

Making a cake with fondant is a lot of work! Maybe I’ll stick to mostly cookies and cupcakes, and leave cakes to special occasions.
