I Made a Cake

I used a Groupon and went to Sweet Wise to learn how to work magic with fondant.

A story in pictures:



You must start with a large clean area. And a tall stool. That is crucial:



You must also have surgical gloves and dye:



Then you grab a ball of putty and make it yellow:



When it's good and taffy-like, roll it out:



Next, take a nice picture that will show-off your freshly manicured hand and ring:



After that, you make little yellow thingys. Set them aside to dry:



Then you grab more putty stuff and make it into a purple blob:



Massage it; work it out. Roll it, but not too thin or thick:



Next, line up with your classmates to get a frozen cake:



Now this next part gets tricky. It apparently makes people cry. Frost the cake. If you start to cry, step away:



Carefully lay the fondant on the cake:



Make it look like an octopus:



Cut off the extra:



Add the dried yellow thingys. Hey, they make a bow!:



Add some curlie Q's (for effect):



Pack it up, and say goodbye to your friends:



I am now a certified 'fondant put-er on-er person.' Call me.
