Trying out fondant

So after being inspired by Rosie cake diva on facebook i thought i would give it a go .
A lot of people talk about how they dread working with fondant but how i see it , is it's like clay you can make anything you want with the added bonus of being able to eat it .
So with my partner and I's anniversary coming up i thought it would be the perfect time to try it .
First i made my favorite chocolate cake in the whole world ( it's so good everyone that eats it wants the recipe , actually there is two , i will post the links to the pages )

I then made a butter cream filling
Then it was on to the fondant ...
I really enjoyed it , i made a few roses and leaves and then just placed them on the cake in which i had covered in white fondant .
I ended up being short on time so my roses didn't have enough time to dry but for my first ever fondant I was very happy with how it turned out :)



I am going to attempt to make my girls birthday cakes this year and hoping to get some more practice before i do so which i will be sure to post
