Here was my big event of the year....... I made the cake! It was a mess!! I made it out of Fondant, homemade Fondant. Which is what took most the time. I didnt have the right equipment or coloring so I had to shop for all of that, which trust me, made a difference! When it came down to making the fondant it really wasnt too bad, but it did take a few hours to make all the colors and kneed the fondant. The messy part was when I went to roll out the fondant to place it on the cake. Ohhhh boy!!!! But I realized after trying to roll out the blue fondant for a good 30 minutes that it wasnt thick enough, so I added more powdered sugar and...... it worked!!!! After that it was pretty much a breeze but it took about an hour to get all the fondant rolled and onto the cake. Which, when looking at the cake didnt seem to be that much effort, but oh it was! Here is a picture of the finished cake. Not too bad for my first time... ;)
I also made the invitation for his Birthday party. He's 2 so he doesn't really have friends to invite over at this point, but I sent the invitations to family for fun! I LOVED how they turned out! They ended up looking like little event tickets :) and oh so much fun! (If you want to know, yes I made them all by myself and I used photoshop)
It was a great birthday and I cant believe I officially have a 2 year old. I cant wait to see what this next year holds!
