Fun with Fondant

After reading 'Pretty Party Cakes' by Peggy Porschen, I've decided to have some fun with the fondant I bought a Micheal's. The fondant was a lot more versatile than my 'homemade' ones and definitely more smoother and easier to work with. Using fondant is like playing with Play Dooh~ I find it very satisfying to just sit there and roll, cut and color pretty flowers that you can eat afterwards. I didnt really have an idea how I want the cake to look at the end, I just know that I wanted romantic, soft and happy colors. The rolled roses and the big daisy were both taught in the book, and I think it is something that everyone can do. And so are the cut-out white flower petals and tree trunk.

I have to say I quite like how it turned out :) reminds of a garden where you would sit down and have afternoon tea ~~ with tea...scones..cakes....*drool*
