#56 Bake a cake with fondant. Done. Check. It happened.
And it was exhausting. I am glad I did it, but I don't think I will ever do it again. It probably took me like 8 hours to make this cake, not including the time it took the fondant to set, which was an additional 8 hours. And coloring fondant is no joke. Like, really, no joke! It is like putty only much more stiff. I really had to put my back into it. I was sweating people. Sweating!! For reals! LOL! But it was fun, nonetheless.
2 lbs of powdered sugar. Its no joke!
After I made the first batch. I made 2. What was I thinking??
The first tier is cover. NICE!
After I cover the bottom tier, made a stripe to go around the upper tier, and did some dots around the edge. (The dots were my last step and I was so so tired, I didn't care what it looked like. I just wanted to be DONE!)
Ta Da!
PURDUE!
Chocolate pudding cake! Amazing!
I suppose I did alright for my one and only time I will make a fondant cake.
...Although I have a bunch of fondant left over and apparently it keeps (if properly sealed) for up to 6 months. So you never know...
It looks good enough to eat, for sure. Why did you make a Purdue cake? I love it!
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to put some design on it, but i had no idea what. Everything in my head seemed so cheesy. And then i just thought, why not do PU colors and make the symbol on top? easy and also fun. and then i went to work on it.
ReplyDeleteGood thinking. I love easy and fun. But mostly I love delicious.
