So I decided on a two-tiered cakes this time (what can I say, I'm a rebel) but this time I knew I didn't want to use the ready-made fondant so I opted to MAKE my own! I found a great recipe for Marshmallow fondant that turned out great! (It is a bit messy to make but it's WAY easier and yummy!).
The recipe is:
1 – 2 lb bag confectioner’s sugar
2 Tablespoons water
Shortening
Cornstarch
Seriously, that's it. You melt the marshmallows, mix with powder sugar, knead and VOILA! done! It's WAY easier to use, flexible, stays moist, easy to color and taste a lot better than the boxed kind.
So back to my cake, home made buttercream frosting, 1st tier - chocolate fudge, 2nd tier - yellow cake with fresh strawberries filling.
Look how cute!!
I piped stars made out of icing and used cookie cutters for the stars. I will NEVER go back to the boxed fondant, the Marshmallow fondant was a million times better. I'm still learning how to smooth out the surface, hey it's not as easy as it looks.
Anyway, I took the cake to a 4th of July party and it was a hit! Everyone couldn't believe it was my second cake. Oh and it was yummy!!!
