Mother's wedding cake


I'm so thankful that I was able to do my mother's own wedding cake. It turned out just the way she wanted. It was my gift to her and Mike (husband). This was a traditional white cake with buttercream frosting.

Things that always look good don't always taste good

Well, this was my first fondant wedding cake I did this past weekend. It really looks elegant but don't let the decorating fool you.......it tastes horrible! Another thing is that it cost alot more than the traditional buttercream frosting.
Now, you may be wandering, "What is Fondant?" Fondant is made up of glycerin, sugar or corn syrup, glucose and a gelatin and is very chewy. It has the consistency of Play-doh.
A cake like this would easily cost $900 at a bakery around Asheville. I would only charge a little over half price ($550).
