First-Time Using Fondant! Of course, I can’t start out with an easy cake. I had to jump in with a fondant cake. I made this cake in August and took it to a family picnic. It was a hit.
It was yellow cake with buttercream frosting. Then covered in pink homemade marshmellow fondant and purple decorations. I was so proud of my first cake! I really like the simple look of this cake.
Lesson Learned
If you have the time and are comfortable with the marshmellow fondant, it is definitely cheaper. As an experiment, I have tried all types including Wilton, Satin Ice, Buttercream fondant, etc. I find the Wilton fondant is the easiest to work with. It is less sticky and easier to roll out.
