Tonight was my last Fondant and Tiered Cakes class - here is my finale cake. The bottom layer is four batches of rice krispy treats, which, by the way, I LOVE working with. It was super easy to make it the perfect shape, and sticking the roses in was easier than the top layer, which is real cake. I made the fondant myself - it is marshmallow fondant that you make in your microwave. It tastes a thousand times better than the Wilton packaged fondant. The roses are fondant too - the whole thing is edible! Except for the toothpicks - OUCH. Anyway, my instructor was surprised at how my roses turned out and she kept saying how proud she was of me. I think I almost dare to do wedding cakes now, as long as they are simple like this. No five-tiered cakes with all kinds of string work and fountains. My next class starts next week - Fondant and Gum Paste.
Today was insane. I had the cake to do and I realized I needed more krispy treat to fill the pan this morning. HELLO - I had already gone through 5 bags of marshmallows between the fondant and the krispy treats. So I used some rainbow marshmallows I had in the pantry for the kids to make a little more, and the pan was finally full. Also a girl I visit teach had her baby the other day and I agreed to take dinner over today, not realizing what a hassle it would be to have dinner and a wedding cake (basically) ready by 5:30. So my standard of living was 'survive' today. Now I am finally sitting down. I keep sighing and Sean keeps asking what's wrong. It just feels good to be on my butt and off my feet!

Gorgeous Misty! I am seriously so proud of you! What an amazing talent to have.
That is gorgeous! I am super impressed. And I love the rice krispy idea. Yummy.
That is really impressive! On a sidenote...I tried the "quick" friendship bread. My opinion is a little biased because I have never tasted the real friendship bread, I have to say the recipe I used was really good. I also got an Amish baked oatmeal recipe from the same site. I normally don't like oatmeal, but this stuff was really good. It almost comes out like a cake. You just put it in a bowl and pour a little milk over it. Yummy! Sorry for such a long post.

Misty YOU ARE SO TALENTED! I've seen a lot of wedding cakes in my day - being a wedding photographer that means I have seen way more than most - and well, your cake rocks! Look how smooth your fondant turned out - NO WRINKLES - GORGEOUS FLOWERS. I mean seriously. You have a talent. I'll have to send you a photo of one cake that I loved photographing - I was wondering if it was gum paste flowers. You'll have to let me know.
