My first fondant cake!
Here are the pics of the first cake I've ever decorated with fondant (that smooth stuff on all the perfect looking wedding cakes). This one less than perfect, but still pretty cool!
The icing didn't take too long to make but it took a LONG time to kneed it to be the right consistency. You kneed then you add some shortening then some water then a bit more shortening, until it feels right. It kind of has to be like stretchy play-doh. Once it's that consistency you roll it out and cut it like pie crust. It's really fun!

That looks awesome!!!
Great job! Looks like you could have a lot of fun with decorating. How long did it take you to do the icing?
