So, I did something crazy. I decided I was going to make Kailey's Birthday Cake for her party. That isn't the insane part. The insane part is that I decided I was going to try to make a fondant cake, having never used fondant, or seen it in person, in my life! So I started the cake on Thursday night. I baked all 3 tiers (yes..that is insane too..) and then I was going to ice the cake last night (the night before the party). To make matters worse, Casey's staff party was last night, so we didn't get home until 10:00. So I start icing it, and Casey comes up with the idea that I need to do the whole thing last night, instead of doing part of it this morning before the party. I definitely agreed with him, especially after I got started. It was so stressful using fondant! I was so scared I would mess it up! Needless to say, I began the cake at 10:30 and finished at 3:00am. Casey said "maybe you should start doing this for a living..." and I simply said "never again. never again will I do this". I am glad I did it, it was fun, but seriously. Never again. Here are the pics of my fun time last night/this morning!
Oh yeah, and I forgot to say that I had to dye some of the fondant, and my hands are now dyed pink and I can't get it off!!
Here is what I told Casey I had to have in order to accomplish the task!
The finished product!
