This cake was loaded with almost every single cake issue that i can think of. I guess it was partly my fault for suddenly deciding to make a cake out of nowhere. I made this one as a gift to my hubby to be's sister in law.
It was a friday when I drove to NJ with my sis-in-law to pick up the kids from my mom's house. The kids were away for a couple of weeks to bond with the grandparents .
My sis and I were thinking of what we could do for the weekend. She is really very supportive of my cake decorating hobby and wanted me to show her how i do it, so we decided that the next day, we'll bake and decorate. Saturday came, checked my mom's pantry and found a couple things we could use but still need to buy other ingredients. Went to the rocery and got the ingredients issue out of the way. I also didn't have any fondant already made so we had to make them too instead of buying pre-made ones which will cost a lot more.
Started decorating about 12 noon. Fondant was acting up on me. As we were trying to create the finish decor, I ran out of fondant. Initial plan was to cover the whole cake with colorful strings but unfortunately we didn't have anymore fondant left and I was way too tired already to make more.
My frosting was melting already even before we finished the cake. It was too humid and it was just not the right day to make a cake for me. all in all, even after all the issues, I was still happy with the way it turned out.
