First Try With Tissue And Figure

This is my first attempt at tissue fondant box cake and figures. The elephant didn't turn out the way I wanted at all but I will survive. All in all I like the cake. Giving it as a gift for a friends son's 3rd birthday. I used my pasta maker to make the fondant stripes, the fettuccini attatchment. That was fun, but time consuming.

Thanks for all the great compliments! the lid was a pain and I totally wung it but I think, just cut out a circle using your cake pan as a guide, thencut a strip of fondant that will wrap around your cake pan, let it dry there then place around the circle you cut out and apply with water or royal icing. That's what I did...had some cracks in the band so I will make it thicker next time.

I love the festive touches - the spirals, the spiral heart, etc. In addition to just loving the cake of course!
