Fondant

Thursday night, I took my first class in using fondant on cakes. It was very interesting and kinda fun. It makes the outside of your cake look absolutely perfect. I have to bring an iced cake, covered with fondant, for this next class on this coming Thursday. I also have to bring gum paste, and we are going to learn how to make some decorations for the cake.

I'm also starting class 1 of Course 2 of cake decorating. I just have to bring icing in stiff consistency and medium consistency - we are going to learn how to make more flowers. That will be fun.

I'm getting Emily to email me pictures of wedding cakes she likes so that I get an idea of what she wants me to do. I may have to make a second cake - a groom's cake, usually chocolate, to be sure I have enough cake to go around for everybody. Worry, worry, worry.
