Cake



Ever since I made my first fondant cake for my son, my kids have asked for, no insisted on, a homemade cake covered in fondant.  Lately, I have been asked to make cakes for other people.  Today, I put the finishing touches on two fondant cakes for a children's birthday party.  The boy's cake was a Mario cake and the girl's cake was a Bubble Guppies cake.




The Bubble Guppies characters are completely edible.  I added some Tylose powder to the fondant to stiffen the fondant a little so that the characters won't fall apart.  I used a Popsicle stick to stabilize the characters while they dried which also made it easy to stick it into the cake...no more decorations falling off the cake during transport.
