Im gonna end (or start depending on how you look at it) today's posts with a cake my sister designed. I think it's fantastic. And it really shows her improvement over the last year. I mean look at the detail work and the precision in all the fondant shapes she cut out (like a puzzle) to make it all fit.

It's awesome.

11" Devil's food cake with raspberry preserves.

Fondant overalls.

    I've heard some nasty things about fondant. Is it really that bad? The lady that wants to do our cake is convinced that it should be done in non-dairy whipped cream, but we're having a groomscake that way.

    Is it a case of "I really can't work with fondant" or am I missing something here?

      I personally dont like the taste of fondant, it's too sweet for me. Some people love it though. It really comes down to personal preference.

      Non dairy whipped cream? Is there any reason it's non dairy?

      Also, whipped cream tends to not be as smooth as buttercream and definitely not as smooth as fondant. There should be no reason you cant put fondant over a cake unless you dont want to pay for it.

    This is such a cute cake! I've been driving my husband nuts just looking at baby clothes whenever we're in the mall. Now I know what cake I want for when I do get pregnant! :)

    The overalls are ADORABLE!

    What's with all the babies lately??? Most of your cakes lately have been for baby related events, a friend of mine just had his second cute little boy, two friends are due in August, and at the store we're getting a rush on people making baby stuff (I work at a yarn store...everything knit and crochet related you'd ever want to have! and super yummy yarns to play with!). Was there a heat wave 9 months ago or what? haha At least I get to check out the best looking cakes here, and get to see some of the cutest handmade baby clothes and blankets at work.

    The cake is cute, but even more precious is the praise you're giving your sister. :) I'd probably cry with joy for having been able to make you proud of me, if I were her. :) Thank you!

    That's darling.

    Sometime, when you have a moment, would you explain your method of getting your icing so smooth. Do you have a super secret buttercream recipe or do you buy a commercial one?

      It's our own personal buttercream recipe, and basically it's just practice makes perfect. Plus we put three layers of buttercream on.

      A crumb layer, a cover coat and a smooth coat.

        Ohh, interesting. I put the first two on but not the third. I'll have to try that. Thanks for the tip. :)
