Decorating was fun, but I definitely have a long way to go. I decided that since I was just starting out, and am pretty much teaching myself, I should start small, hence "Making Miniatures". Instead of trying to decorate normal sized cakes, I started with mini cakes. Essentially 2'' tall, 3'' across.
The only thing I made completely from scratch was the fondant, mostly because I heard the store bought stuff takes like plastic. Next time, I'm making the frosting and the cake from scratch. The cake mix I got from Kroger came out way too soft and airy and fluffy. Makes for nice cake to eat, not nice cake to carve and try to frost and cover in fondant.
Clearly I have a lot to practice and work on, but I'm having lots of fun already =)
These are adorable!! I love them.
