So, I had this "bright idea" right....
"Hey, I'm artistic! I'll make M's birthday cake! I'll make a spiderman cake..... lemme try this fondant stuff..... I've used it once before (very small scale... I used it to make Petit Fours). I bet I can do it! It'll be fun!"
humf
Seven hours later....... I'm done. Finally. Guess what? It's a heck of a lot harder to make a multi-tier fondant cake than it is to cover a Petit Four! Just because, I guess I feel I have far too much free time on my hands, I decided to make my own fondant too! ::::shakes head:::: Will I ever learn?
Anyway, here's the final product. My first fondant cake. My second time using fondant....ever!

Well it looks great - how does it taste? I think I'll hire out for that one!
Wow. Great job! I've made and decorated lots of cakes, but none with fondant. Now for the question... how does it taste?! Happy Birthday to your little one!
Love it!! Way to go.. I have decorated cakes.. but would never even try foundant.. Well done Friend! I think you did a great job.. Now grab a lemonade and relax
WOW! That looks amazing! I've only used fondant (pre-made) once and I hated it and haven't even attempted to use it since! Some people can work miracles with the stuff, but I am NOT one of those people!
Holy cow, Batman...I mean spiderman!! That looks awesome for a first 'big cake' attempt. I let my kids try the stuff last fall one time on a two layer cake. They had tons of fun making it, but they wouldn't even touch the stuff to eat it. I tried a piece and had to agree with them. The premade fondant I used tasted just awful! Got a good recipe? I've decorated cakes for years, but always been too busy to make the leap to serious fondant use.
That is over-over-and-over the top! I am impressed with your stick-to-it-iveness.
That looks really good! You did a great job!!
Wow, you did an awesome job!
I love baking, but have never done something this nice!
You are amazing! It looks splendid and delicious! Great job momma!
You did an excellent job. I know that with all the time you put in you hated to see it cut.
Wow! Looks good! I'll have to show you my Big Mac cake sometime...that was exhausting! lol The things we do for love, huh? :)
