Cake Boss, Here I Come!


Chris and I have been watching the Cake Boss on TLC this summer. This guy creates pieces of artwork. I mean, what Buddy can do with some fondant and obviously years of skill and training, well it makes me envious.

So, I attempted my first fondant cake. Lucky for me I was given a marshmallow fondant recipe from Hollee, which was easy to make and a lot of fun. Now that I have played with it, I can't wait to get a couple REAL tools and start making some cool cakes.

It's Kaylee's birthday tomorrow (ya, how did 4 happen so fast?) so I figured my little girl would be a perfect first go. She kept changing her mind from smarties, to candy, to butterfly. Here is the combo cake.

Can't wait to give it a try again. I wonder if my hands will return to a normal colour soon?
