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).

Awesome Cake! Bet you gotta be tough to whip up that fondant icing. Keep up the good work.

It sure was beautiful, despite how chewy it was! I think that I wound up eating so much of that fondant that it kind of grew on me. I definitely prefer buttercream, though.
