First Fondant Cake! April 2011

 

This cake is from April 2011.  It was for my parent's birthdays.  I've always loved the look of fondant.  But, the taste of the store bought fondant is...yucky...and that's being nice.  This buttercream fondant recipe is from allrecipes.com.  It was good, but needs to be rolled thinner then I got it for this cake.  As for the colors, it was spring so I chose pastels.
