This is my 1st try at covering a cake with fondant, stacking & also making gum paste figures/accents. A great thanks to aine2 whose cake was my inspiration! I had lots of issues with this cake: Time was my # 1 enemy (had to wait until the kids were in bed), gum paste cracking, my cakes falling, rolling the fondant without dings and dents in it, but the worst problem was covering the cake board with the fondant.... Overall I am very pleased with this cake. Everything is edible and homemade & is for my DS!
