Ok so here is my first try at fondant. A lady from Jason's work had been looking for a cake for her niece for a graduation party. They had a terrible time trying to find someone who could do something for them. She asked me earlier this week and this is what it turned out like. They were very happy with it and I was pleased I didn't screw it up. I've never done fondant so I was a bit worried about getting it a true black and how to pull off a grad cap. I think it turned out pretty good for a first timer. The one lady said it looked better than the cakes they saw at walmart and a cake decorator in Jonesboro that were similar but with butter cream icing. Maybe this will be my new business. Fondant is expensive so these cakes don't come cheap;) I have another cake I'm doing for another lady next week. She wants a candy train (I'd done one for an fundraiser auction a few years ago.) The traincars are cake and then topped with candy, animal crackers, licorice tracks and more. I may just try the fondant on this one too:)

Note to all: three of my kids are sick today with fevers, Sarah was so sick last night I stayed up with her trying to bring down her fever. She'd had two different meds and it was still 104.9, Needless to say, it wasn't a good night. She had a blessing and after an hour working to cool her down she was finally at 102 so I put her back in bed and went to sleep myself. Of course I had to redose everyone four hours later so I didn't get much sleep, but Colton watched them while I slept on the couch this morning. Jason and Whitney went to church, had to pick up two separate riders so he had to leave by 7:45 this morning. I guess we are in for a wonderful day.
