My latest creation in cake...
Just when I thought I had this cake-stuff down-pat....I have one of the hardest nights ever making a cake...My friend at work wanted a simple, chocolate fondant cake with a peace-sign on top, and I thought "NO PROBLEM", been there, done that!!! Not so fast Missy....the cakes came out beautifully, frosting, no biggie...made the fondant the night before, was PERFECT...then last night, when it was time to put it all together...RAIN!!!! It has rained on several of my cake-making days, and they same thing has happened EACH time, the fondant is sticky, gooey, slimy...a MESS!!! Nothing seemed to help, it was actually sliding off the cake...the cookie cutters were sticking, I wanted to CRY, and almost did a few times...but my BFF Susie brought me a margarita, and her help, and it started to get a little better. When she had to get back home, Mark and Wyatt took over as my personal assisstants!!! And they were just as awesome!!!!A few times I had to just walk away, picked up my guitar and sang a couple songs...that seemed to help alot too!!! So, my simple little cake, turned into alot of repair-work...made alot of dots, and flowers to try to hide the HOLES!!! And the whole thing looks kinda shiny and melty, but the colors are gorgeous, and it will taste AMAZING!!! Hopefully the sweet little 8-yr-old that this cake is for, won't look at it too closely!!!
