This was my first shot at using fondant! I have been wanting to test out fondant for a long time. Since I started by Etsy shop Jars by Monica I have found that I really like molding things with clay. I thought if I have that kind of patience, why don’t I test that with fondant. It’s not the same, but it’s very similar. I think that for the first time with no research and no tutorials I did pretty ok! Here’s the recipe and what I used. Also, the cake is painted like that on purpose, I wanted to go for a watercolor look.
I wanted to put raisins in the filling so a little tip is to soak them in water so they are a little mushy instead of the hard raisins you eat out of the box.
Once I put the cake in the oven I had to wait. This is what I did in the mean time. Insert laughing until crying emoji here.
Ignore the yellow coloring dust, I ended painting the fondant pink anyway.
