Cake, Fondant and a BIG Mess!

One of the very big messes

Our latest adventure involves our amazing friend Leah. We were assigned the task in English to find something we wanted to learn how to do and do it. Leah and I came to the decision that we really wanted to learn how to use the fancy fondant. Alice of course did it with us and we actually did learn a few things:

1. Fondant is quite hard to roll out and place exactly on the cake

2. Greasy fondant is not good.

3. Never give Leah the crappy cake to decorate

4. You can never have enough powdered sugar

Those are just a few of the discoveries we made.

Well we were doing good on our project and just to make this shorter I will skip ahead to our last cake. Alice and I had made three cakes the night before and put them in the freezer(apparently that's what you're suppose to do). The next night, we all went to Alice's after we had made our third fondant at Leah's. We each had our own batch and had decided to each decorate our own layer of the cake. Alice would have the bottom, leah the middle, and I got the top.

We set out each with our own ideas. Leah was not very happy though because her layer was kinda a mess and all crumbly, so she did not want to decorate hers. Alice was dertermined to make hers a masterpiece and was in the process of making pink frosting when I took I big dallop ate some and smeared the rest on her cheek. The rest was history. We all ended up with cake, fondant, and frosting all in our hair, all over our clothing and all over Alice's kitchen. It was fun while it lasted until Alice started panicking and the mess. Before either of her parents could come in we hurried and cleaned up the kitchen and you never would have know a war had taken place in there.
