My Fondant Future

Hummmmm.....

I just finished my online defensive driving course, ( I know, I know...), so now I can get back to my cake obsession. :-)

A little while back, I found a wonderfully simple and inexpensive recipe for marshmallow fondant. I am excited... really excited! So now I am trying to decide what I want to do first with my new-found wisdom. I know I want to try my hand at a tiered cake, but not sure whether to try two or three tiers. Also, I am trying to decide on the design involved. This is where I can let my imagination go wild! There are oh-sooo-many different things I can do for my first fondant cake! I am so excited, but I already know I will have to keep reminding myself, that this cake, this adventure, is just the first of many fondant covered cakes that I will make. So it need not be perfect... at least not totally. :-p

I do know that the cake will be round since I have a set of round pans. I also know that I want to color the fondant. But that is about all I am curtain of. I do not know what color, nor do I know what style I want. Flowers maybe? Ribbon maybe? Fondant cut-outs maybe? I am not yet sure!! I have been thinking, it would look nice to make a cake based on the design off of our shower curtain. It is brown with darkish turquoise circles spiraling around and around... I think it would be nice to try! Or maybe start off with something simple yet elegant, or bold and bright... I will just have to do more research to help get my creative juices flowing. :-)

Decorating tips.... that is next on my "to-buy" list. I want to get the master set so I can also start to practice my piping techniques. :-)
