I am always up for a challenge, so when a friend asked me if I could do a baby shower cake for her using fondant, I said OK. Mind you I have never used fondant, never made a tiered cake, and have really only decorated one other cake, unless we can just count slapping some rainbow chip icing on as decorating...We talked and talked about it and she gave me her color scheme and what she wanted incorporated and I set off to the internet to do my research. What none of my research told me was exactly how much kneading is involved with fondant and how bad my hands would hurt for the next 3 days...if you are looking to grow Popeye forearms, just knead some fondant and you will be good to go.
But the cake turned out great, the mom-to-be was pleased and I can add another one to the "Things I Have Tried" column.

Might just pop over to try the delicious looking cake
I love it! I'm in the same boat, with no cake decorating experience. But you've given me the courage to try it!
WHAT?! You made this? It looks so darn cute I could scream! Way to go. It looks completely professional!
