First time with fondant


I was asked to make a 9x13 cake with a crown on it. I love it when I get to be creative and hopefully exceed peoples expectations. I wanted the cake to look like a pillow with two crowns on it. But in order to make it look like a pillow it needed to be smooth. So I decided to give fondant a try. It took longer than expected trying to get the consistency right but in the end I liked it and think i'll try making it again. The royal icing crowns were my favorite part, I was really nervous about them breaking but they came off the form with only a little breakage. I deliver it tomorrow so we'll see the reaction then!
