Happy Spring Fondant Cake!

Well, this weekend, I spent almost the entire time up to my elbows in sugar, cornstarch and food coloring gel. And I loved every minute of it! Since I keep mentioning being "up to my elbows", I should tell you that I am not exaggerating (much). I keep a clean dish towel on my shoulder, one by the sink and one on the table, as well as washing my hands as many times as  medical professional would in so many hours. I wash 2 aprons, at least, each day. It's cool. I like it!

This is a photo of my first attempt at a fondant covered cake, complete with my own little fondant Spring and Easter decorations. I know might seem somewhat simplistic to some of you who have been doing this kind of thing for a while, but I am tickled!!  Now it is time for me to expand into more intricate decorations and see if I can make a go of this! Can anyone say Petit Fours? Wish me luck and Please send any suggestions you might have! I welcome any and all! And as far as buying fondant from a supplier? Nah! My marshmallow fondant is yummy and fun to make. I need to find a new job and a new path. This one makes my heart smile. So between looking online for opportunities and waiting to hear from Purina, I know I have found a way to finally do something I enjoy! And the perk of being able to be home with my pets while "working" is something I would love to do all the time!

If this cake looks yummy, or you would like to know how I made my fondant, I would be happy to share my recipe. Just give me a shout!

I have orders for my candy and am hoping for more. This confection gig is a blast! Let me know if you have a sweet tooth! I can help!

Have a terrific Monday!
