happy birthday to leon :]

my first MM-fondant cake :] yayyyyyyy! so exciting! i had been deciding for weeks what to do for my first cake order =O it came to this result!!

it literally took me 2days to do .. was stressful but i finally managed to finish it in time ^________^

i made marshmallow fondant (see below for recipe) instead of the usual one so its yummier to eat =P it was sooooooooo messy to work with at the start!!!!! but the results of texture&taste were awesome.

gotta thank my sis for helping me too and doin those delicate little nails *muah* :]

i was superrrrr nervous when i bought the cake to the restaurant .. kept thinking "OMG .. its gonna taste bad" "OMG they arent gonna think its pretty" etcetc .. but everyone was so kind and gave me great motivation to do another cake next time. hearing compliments for your hard work is really really rewarding ^_______^

the cake was so moist&soft. it was soooo yummy again. same cake i made for my dad's *its a winnerrrrrrrr* =D

i give you my first MM fondant cake *drum-roll*:

Marshmallow Fondant LVL ☆☆☆☆

you will need:

• 500g of white marshmallows
• 2 tbs of water
• 1kg of icing sugar
• crisco

how to make this messy thing??

• first put all the marshmallow into a big bowl
• evenly distribute the water on the marshmallows
• pop them in the microwave for abt 30secs, take out and give it a good mix again
• put it back into the microwave for about another 30-40secs till the marshmallows have melted
• mix it till it forms a smooth mixture
• next grease a big working-bench with crisco (trust me! u need heaps or it will stick to the table!!!! make sure u grease enough of the working space u need)
• pour 500g of icing sugar into the marshmallow mixture, give it a good stir. (doesnt matter if its not enough icing sugar in it, u just want to make it easier to work with when tour kneading it next)
• next, sprinkle some icing sugar on the bench, put all the mixture onto your working bench. grease your hands with crisco.
• pour some of the icing sugar on the marshmallow and start to knead everything in.
• repeat this until u form a nice soft looking dough.
• wrap up the fondant tightly and place it in a freezer bag with no air.
• chill for 24hrs

*when you take it out of the fridge, it will be stiff, jus give it a good 10-20secs in the microwave till its soft to use. if it gets too soft, jus add some icing sugar to it! u can now add colour gels to it and have fun playing!! =P*
