This was my first try at a Baby Shower Cake. My biller at the office is having a boy and we are having a party for her this week. So no time like now to practice my fondant skills. Actually I have made home made fondant before and I prefer it to store bought. It is cheaper and better quality. These are the first fondant flowers I have made. I bought some cutters at a Michaels's in Denver. They have a great selection of cake making stuff. I reused some plastic trays that I bought at Walmart. Flowers already made came in them and I saved the trays to make my own. They worked perfectly for shaping the flowers and the leaves. I used the hight altitude chocolate recipe for the cake. You can google Hershey's High Altitude cake recipes and that is where I found one that works beautifully at 7600 feet. I think it turned out pretty good for the first try, don't you think?
Of course Sebby had to make his own cake and decorate it too. Turned out pretty good.
CUTE!!!!! I love this cake! A+
