Wilton course 2 & 3 were mainly learning to make flowers and techniques so we baked only one cake per course for the final class... Course 3 was all about making flowers from gum paste and fondant.... I was excited that we would be leaning how to cover a cake with fondant and get the cake a very "pro' look....
For my cake I chose a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting.... As, I have mention in the previous many posts I totally HATE butter cream frosting... I have never been a "sugar" person and butter cream was just giving my teeth shocks... For this cake which I was also taking it to the International dinner at Viky's college, I decided to put some effort and make a frosting that was on my "To-Try" list for a looong time.... The blog writer who is also a butter cream hater had gotten her hands on a "Magical frosting" and yes it was truly magical.... It was light, creamy and just a little sweet... That's all I wanted! oh, yea it's definitely going to be my go to frosting every time I need frosting on my cakes... It takes a longer time and needs patience than the other recipes, but its worth it....
A box of fondant costs 7$ after coupon and I really was trying to find a way around spending so much for fondant.... Had seen many videos on you tube to make marshmallow fondant and it was also on my "To Try" list for a while now... So, this was one more thing I decided to make for this cake... Home-made marshmallow fondant... And I am happy to tell it was as easy to make as it said in all the videos... And It costed me less than 2$ to make it! :)
So, I stacked and crumb coated the cake and off I went to the class with the gum paste Daisies I had made for the cake....I had researched a bit for the type of cake I wanted to and I chose to make a Daisy cake...
Had a great time decorating the cake and everyone was showering me with compliments at the International dinner.... They didn't even want me to cut the cake... Hehehe...
