Fondant Cakes

Oh Goodness where has the time gone? It has been over a month since I updated and so much has happened since then.

First and foremost, I have been accepted to Culinary School, and I graduated from Business School so I can finally focus on the sweeter and more important things in life.

Secondly, a few very important birthdays went by. My dear brother Snorlax had a birthday and cutie Sami had a birthday. So if nothing else this is a picture post of the cakes I made for their birthdays.

First up, Snorlax cake for my dear brother Snorlax. This was my first time baking in a bowl and I had to keep putting it back in the oven because the middle just would not bake through! I did end up with a nice round tummy for the snorlax though and was pretty happy with the results.

Then for cutie Sami I came up with the idea of trying my hand at a purse cake. More notably, a TokiDoki purse cake. Unfortunately, when I put the cake to let it chill out in the fridge some how the fridge door was left ajar and cake caved in a bit on itself resulting in lumps. So it is a bit of a lumpy purse, she loved it so I decided to chalk this up to experience and not get too upset about it. Especially, considering I made it faster than any other cake and it was also bigger than any other cake I had done before!

There's nothing like cutting out 200 little fondant stars at 1 am :)
