Sarah's Birthday Cake

This was my first time working with fondant. I started by baking two round lemon cakes and leveling them so they were flat. I used buttercream icing between the two cake layers, and for the crumb coating under the fondant.  I made marshmallow fondant from scratch, then colored it, rolled it out, and covered the cake.


I cut out shapes from more fondant for the flowers. 


Here's the first layer of the flowers.


And here's the finished product. The bird is made entirely of fondant. 




Not bad for my first time working with fondant. This was a trial run for my next fondant cake...Avery's Dora cake for her 4th birthday. Stay tuned.
