I've used the Wilton Sugar sheets before but I have never used fondant to overlay a cake. Since I wanted a hot pink cake for my daughter's party, I needed to give it a try. The colors of her party were hot pink and black (and polka dots). Oh, she didn't know she was having a surprise party and was asking for a cookie monster cake to have a small party with friends...hence the cookie monster cake attempt in the background... :.) Thanks for letting my share (I'm trying to overcome my shyness especially with all the other amazing creations from others so I wanted to share even though it's not perfect).

You did a great job! Overlaying with fondant sure isn't as easy as it looks. I did it also for the first time on Friday and had some pleating at the bottom. Your cake is very pretty!

Your cake is very pretty! Just wanted to let you know that when I took the fondant class, the teacher told us to pick up the bottom edge of the fondant, kindof like the edge of a blouse (it's called Blousiing) raise it up a little, and smooth it down. Did you frost the cake with Buttercream frosting underneath before you covered with the fondant?

I did frost with buttercream. Thanks for the "blousing" tip. I'll have to give that a try.

Yep, I had frosting underneath so it was at least tasty. :.)
