I guess when they said everything gets on the fondant, I guess they meant EVERYTHING! A little bit messy on the cut-outs too and the gold dust but – hey I had so much fun doing this!

A little messy?! Are you looking at the same cake I'm looking at? It is perfection, Veronica! You are a constant source of inspiration.
um…one word…. WOW!!!!
that looks so nice. I have had fondant in the cupboard for about a year and have been afraid to try it. now I really want to play with it with the kids.
Excellent job!
Wow Veron! That is beautiful!
I'm speechless-WOW!
That IS stunning, Veron! I think I need to start making fondant cakes myself now – too cute to resist!
how pretty. fondant is on my list of projects, i'm hoping to make my son's christening cake. still haven't found the courage to get started though. you always inspire me!
Looks absolutely perfect to me! I've never been brave enough to get anywhere near fondant.
Okay, you are scaring me. You said messy. Surely, you're not referring to the picture above? are you?
I agree with others. What are you worrying about? The fondant looks gorgeous!
Oh so lovely…. yours looks so sweet….love the soft colour… so gorgeous.
I will post something later…. a bit R rated!
Thanks everyone for the postivie feedbacks! You know the saying that we are our own worse critics – I guess there were some parts I thought I could have done better – but I am generally pleased as this was my first attempt at fondant.
Shayne , Pille, and Maybahay – go ahead and try fondant. My favorite part was making the flowers – they were so easy but so full of appeal. The wilton website has a lot of information.
Looks beautiful! What was the occasion??
oh my gosh, That looks fabulous! Was it made for something special or were you just playing around? What flavor is it? ;]
Messy? You should have seen my first (catastrophic) attempts. And it was only for cookies as well!
Dana and Jazz – there was a Wilton class at Sur La table but that same day was also the hubby's aunt's 60th birthday. So it worked out perfectly. I think it helps to see someone actually do it to get an idea. There were other professional cake decorators taking the class as well so I felt my work was pretty amateurish compared to theirs
.
Veron, you are an artist!
I can't see a single flaw except that I cannot admire your work in person. Amazing job Veron!
Hi Veron – your Gift Box Cake is exquisite!
oooooohhhhh!!! its so beautiful!!!
Wow! I'm so envious of your fondant abilities! I need to take notes…
Well . . . unreal . . . that is beyond words beautiful! You are amazing!
Veron! This looks fabulous!!! You are a golden cake goddess!
Wow! That's not only adorable, but gorgeous! Teach meeee.
Oh my goodness, Veron!! This is spectacular. WOW! I had no idea that you were a professional cake decorator…can I just once again say, wow!
And yes, I will hold your hand for the Italian Meringue although I have no fear that you would master that technique very fast!
There is not an ounce of this that is messy. This is stunning, great job!
he..hee.. I am not a professional cake decorator. this was my first cake. But I have already received 2 orders for cakes…
thanks for all the sweet compliments!
Sis – you can decorate my cakes ANY TIME. Actually.. could you decorate my cakes FROM HERE ON OUT? =)
xoxo
Oh it's beautiful, fondant it so rewarding to work with – instant WOW!
