Vanilla cake with vanilla fondant. (Photo credit: Brandi Cowen)
After sitting in on so many cake decorating demos and workshops (not to mention watching all those hours of Cake Boss), I decided to try my hand at working with fondant. The end result? A pretty snazzy birthday cake for mom. It’s no Cake Boss creation, but it’s pretty good for a first try, if I do say so myself. (And I do!)
The most important lesson learned from this little experiment is that just when you think you’ve got the fondant as thin as it can go, you’ll discover that you’re wrong. Roll it out to as consistent a thickness as possible – the more consistent it is, the better it will look when you apply it to the cake.
The other trick to having fun with fondant? Patience!
