My First Fondant

I have always admired smooth fondant-covered cakes, and I am thinking of trying to make one for each of the girl's birthdays this year instead of buying them. It's so expensive to buy fondant cakes, and all I ever hear is that the fondant doesn't even taste good at all. So one of the crafty-mom blogs that I follow had a recipe for Marshmallow Fondant that is supposed to be easy AND tasty, so what better opportunity to practice a bit than Mother's Day?

Using some recipes I found online and the advice of a friend who has is a professional baker, I made a yellow cake with raspberry creme filling and covered it with white marshmallow fondant. I will just say that none of the steps were as hard as I thought they'd be, but there were a LOT of steps! I'll definitely only be attempting these again for special occasions! I would do it again, though! I was really proud of how mine turned out! It tasted good, and lots of people went back for seconds, so I think it's safe to call this cake a success!
