This was our 1st "real" cake ever! We have only been doing this a few months (took that long to get supplies together.) but I wanted to play with fondant. (the dots and her name) I used clay cutters for her name because I liked the way they look.. the dots were cut using a medicine bottle. We did this cake for our grandaughter's 1st birthday. The top cake came off easily for her smash cake...She had a ball!
