Mini Wedding Cake
6" and 3.5" cake covered with fondant and decorated with fondant roses. The 3.5" cake caused me no end of grief as I had to make 6" layers and cut with the comfort grip cookie cutter as I have no 4" pans. I also think the fondant might have been too soft. Any feedback would be appreciated.
The cake was made for my aunt for her work to give to a co-worker who got married a the courthouse yesterday. The couple decided to forego a wedding since they want to save their money to buy a house.
I think it is beautiful, your roses are perfect!! Great job!!
Roses - gorgeous. Design - gorgeous. How thick was your fondant? and how much icing did you put on underneath? It looks really good in the picture, was it rippling in person -- is that why you thought the fondant was too soft?
I had a thin layer of icing underneath and I had smoothed it using VIVA. The fondant was rolled to the height of a nickel per my notes from the Wilton III course. It was very humid last night when I made the fondant and was humid today too. Could that have affected it?
the height of a nickel...i think your fondant needs to be rolled out waaay thicker...that way it'll hide all the imperfections and it'll have a smoother look to it...it won't pick up all the bumps fropm the bc underneath
Thanks! I will double check the thickness I need to use.
