Fondant Nightmare

Fondant Nightmare on Cake Central

My first ever try at doing a fondant covered cake. I made my own and it was way to soft. It kept sagging out of shape. This experience has actually made me afraid of trying a fondant cake again!

Don't give up. The creativity in your concept is good! You know what was wrong, so you can fix it next time. I think it actually looks very cute! Please don't give up. You really have a lot of talent.

Yes, don't give up. Although I've made my own fondant, I seem to like store bought best. Satin Ice and Pettinice (sp.) are good. I love that Debbie Brown dessign. I own that same book and would love to try and make it.

Fondant takes practice - everyone's right, don't give up! Just add a bit more icing sugar next time! Despite your soft fondant, your cake is adorable! (I own that book too - don't you just love it?!)

It gets easier, every cake you do. I started with the yucky wilton stuff and moved on to mmf. The first few cakes made me want to cry - but each one gets easier. You've got a lot of talent and creativity.....a few more fondant covered cakes under your belt and you will be hooked! Great Job!!!!
