Tonight, my parents and my sister, Jen, were over for dinner, so I decided to experiment. Mom is the expert baker, and Jen was the "helper" (her words!), so we played with fondant. I dyed the fondant Wilton's Leaf Green, which will be the color of dad's cake. Think two tiers, the color of a golf course with golf balls decorating the sides and the figure of him on top.
Fondant always seems to go much further than I think it will. I had plenty for the 9" cake. In the words of Buddy, I "dirty iced" it with some buttercream icing that I quickly whipped up. I really iced the cake too prematurely, and the icing melted a little. This made for bumps under the fondant. Overall, it wasn't too bad! I was for some reason expecting a nightmare, trying to fit the fondant over a circular object. Here are some pictures. I was really just messing around with some shapes and letters, so pardon the awful decorating. Also, forgive us for digging in before getting a proper picture!
P.S. - we missed you, Laur!
