My first fondant covered pooh test cake….

Fondant pooh cake

I’ve been getting quite a few requests to make cakes recently.. but I’ve always shyed away from agreeing as i always think that my cake decorating skills are not up to par yet. Thus to date, i’ve only made cakes for my close family members. However, with the encouragement of my hubby and family members i finally decided to do a test cake to see if i could do a really beautiful cake.

I’ve always loved fondant covered cakes as i think they always look so professional and smooth… however, i was always hesistant to try covering a cake with fondant as i was worried about whether i could get it smooth and whether i’d get the problems that everyone seems to get such as wrinkly skin, bubbles under the fondant and well.. not being able to get the fondant smooth! I finally decided to try making one and decided to make a tiny 6″ cake just to see if i could do it. Hee.. lucky for me too that the cake would be just in time for our 1st wedding anniversary as well :p

I made a deliciously rich and sinful tasting butter cake that was super moist and yet had a beautiful crumb. This cake is unbelievable and i couldn’t stop eating the cake bits that i had to cut off after the cake was baked. My hubby was also hanging over my shoulder and after the first bite he finished off all the other bits that were cut off. Goes to show how good the cake tasted!

Well.. i frosted the cake and after that laid the fondant over everything and smoothed it down. I was very worried about the fondant tearing during the process but surprisingly the cake actually turned out quite nicely for a first attempt anyway

I’ve also cut a piece of the cake out just to show you how beautiful the cake crumb looks.. i’m just hoping you can see it from the picture :) Doesn’t it look delicious?!
