Cake

Many of you may not know this but I am a crafty person. When Harrison passed rather than turning to hobbies I was frozen, all my energy was consumed by grieving and completing simple tasks. Then I had Elodie and well she is a handful. I had been wanting to try my hand at fondant for a long long time. Today I made Marshmallow Fondant and after bedtime I attempted my first fondant cake. Its not perfect but I am proud of my accomplishment.

Helpful Hints
Use your stand mixer with the dough hook to mix, it is a stiff mixture
Coat everything in Crisco
Where gloves when dying the fondant
Leave lots of excess when you cut
Don't over work it
Microwave a few seconds before rolling to make it pliable
Corn Starch is a good coating substance
Water helps bind fondant to fondant
