My First Fondant Covered Cake!!

SO i had a client contact me to ask if i could make a white choc mud cake for her daughters christening and showed me a pic of what she was after.... I freaked out! I have been lucky enough to have stayed away from fondant covered cakes until now. lol
I had tried once before for my daughters birthday cake but it was 42 degrees and the power had gone out so i had no air conditioning so the humidity was threw the roof and i gave up before i even started. So when i saw this cake i thought it was worth the challenge. And if it turned out to be a flop i new i was not meant to work with fondant again!

Anyway it all worked out! I love this cake! Im sure i have gain quite a few more grey hairs from doing it but it was worth it. Might even have the confidence now to try and make another fondant cake!!
Enjoy!

Giant Fairy Cupcake!

So this is my latest giant cupcake design! I had a client ask me if i could make a fairy figurine and i was so happy with my first human looking fondant figure that i decided to use her on my giant cupcake i took for a display at our local market.
I had seen the rose piping done a few times on the giant cupcakes and this gave me an oppotunity to have a go too. Loved it. Especially when you do the two tone piping for the pink high lights.
Enjoy!
