Fun with Fondant

After a couple of failed attempts I FINALLY made a successful batch of fondant. I was so excited I wanted to cover everything with it. But that wasn't part of the order, so I just did what I was asked to do, which still let me play with it a fair amount.

I was asked for 2 cakes. 1 to match colors of the steamers she was going to use for the 'family' party and the other was the princess from the Disney Princess and the frog movie. I'm pleased with both.

Flowers are fondant, cake is marble with buttercream frosting.

(I'll post the Princess and the frog cake in a separate post so that I can tag it separately.)
