My newest cake! (Evan's b-day cake)

Well...I did it.

I attempted fondant!

I did not take the class yet.

I did it strictly by studying youtube tutorials, LOL!

Seriously.

Doing "camo" probably wasn't the best choice for my first attempt.

With camo, I had to cut all of the different pieces in "puzzle" type shapes.

Then, I had to piece them together, overlapping.

Then I had to roll them out together.

I thought it looked pretty good.

But then...

When I went to flip it onto the cake...

The "puzzle pieces" started coming apart.

For my first attempt, I probably should've practiced with a solid piece of fondant.

But...

I didn't lose my cool.

I stayed calm and focused.

I repieced them back together, and then QUICKLY flipped it onto the cake!

And I did it!

And I think...for my first attempt at fondant...

It didn't turn out half bad!

I'm pretty proud of it!

Sure, it's not perfect.

Sure there are little cracks/seams where I pieced it together.

But...

For not having any training in fondant...

I am quite pleased with it!

I did the deer as a Royal Icing plaque.

I was terrified as I peeled it off the parchment paper, but it came off without a hitch!

Overall...

I am a happy camper and amazed with this cake!
