It was Courtney’s friend Melody’s birthday on Saturday so Cort and I got to practice our fondant skills again which was awesome but this cake gave us a good workout since it was taller than all the others that we’ve done so far.  I had some difficulty laying the fondant over that tall beast but in the end it came out pretty good.  We copied the design from the Wilton Fondant and Gum Paste Lesson Plan book (with a few modifications of our own to hide the boo boo’s!).  The cake is the Chocolate Almond Sour Cream cake recipe and the fondant is Satin Ice White Buttercream fondant which so far is the best tasting fondant that we’ve tried.  Happy Birthday Melody!
