New Cake

They had a service auction in my ward so I auctioned off a custom cake! My fist attempt at making fondant in humidity was HORRIBLE! I might have to retire... after a few hours of trying the little guy came out great but it wasn't without some serious effort. Maybe I'll make cakes again when I'm back in Utah :)

Here's a bit of my process... after carving him from rainbow cake and milk chocolate cake.. the crum coat frosting began.

Then I had to freeze him so he could keep his shape and then once frozen I put him on the already made pond (dark choc cake with raspberry cream cheese filling) and lily pad.


And Final Product... a happy friendly frog! What do you think!? I painted him with water to give him and the lilly pad a "wet" look like he had just gotten out of the pond.. looking back I should have just painted one or the other.. My fondant also shrunk in the process so don't look to close.. it is far from my best work but fun none-the less :) Enjoy! xoxo
