I guess you can see my Brunners in the background... for those who know what it is though..lol Then the kneading began... Lord, how my arm muscle hurt. I now know why fondant cakes are more expensive than buttercream. The first covering was too thin so I added another, following all the instructions I saw in the videos I downloaded. Then I took out the red fondant and after kneading it, it became orange. I added the rest of the coloring and it was still.. God! What on earth I'm I going to do now. First of all, it was a Sunday and no baking shop around here opens on Sundays. Secondly I was to deliver the cake on that Sunday evening cause the celebrants birthday was on Monday. I just sat on the floor in the yoga position staring at my orange-stained palms and pondering on what to do. I decided to call the celebrant to explain my predicament and she she was fine with it. After rolling out the reddish-orange fondant.. it started breaking  I couldn't do the design I had in mind again.. 1 Like |

I was excited when I saw it had become red. So yesterday was the D-day. I was skeptical but I just went on... turned the cake upside-down a spread buttercream on it and also filled in gaps...

I finally dared...  Honestly... it wasn't as easy as I thought. I got really frustrated and almost started crying... lol. The celebrant wanted a red and white coloured cake and I decided to decorate with fondant (she didn't specify). A risk right? So I made the fondant two days earlier... the supposed-to-be-red fondant ended up being orange (I used powder colouring). I sha decided to leave it to rest.... and the next day... 1 Like
