I started yesterday by making Marshmallow Fondant, which had to sit overnight before being used (my siblings experianced much agony and dismay due to this). I never thought making fondant would be so hard. Yes, there was only 3 ingrediants...Marshmallows, water, and powder sugar. What nearly killed me was the major upper arm workout that took nearly 15 minutes. Kneading that little devil actually brought sweat to my brow. Well, enough of that.
Today I made the cake (chocolate from a box) and decorated it. It took one try to cover the cake in fondant thanks to my brother Jonathan. The roses on the other hand took about 7 trys before I actually made one that looked worthy enough to be placed on my cake. The frosting is White and Creamy (Aldi's brand w/ added powder sugar). The frosting between the two layers of cake and also gluing the fondant on is Cream Cheese Frosting (also Aldi's brand). All in all it was pretty good for my first try. Although, afterward I was sick of snacking on frosting, fondant and cake. I think it's amazing that I didn't get sick. It was fun and I can't wait to do it again!
