Fondant PT. 2 – Elegant Multi-tiered Cakes
As a fun class for more advanced students, you will be creating a elegant, two-tiered, fondant covered cake that would be appropriate for a small wedding or birthday. Will discuss various fondant, gumpaste, and piping techniques as well as structural requirements for multi-tiered cakes.the first class happens to be 3 days before I make my Hello Kitty birthday cake so it works out fabulously. it'll prep me to make, hopefully, my proudest cake creation ever. LOL! none of them ever came out as plan'd...sometimes better, sometimes worst, but either way, something's wrong with it (according to me)...=(
here's what i had in mind - the keroppi cupcake stand cake & coincidentally it'll require fondant. i used fondant once ever, last year @ Sanrio's Small Gift LA making a Hello Kitty cupcake & a Chococat cupcake. Awfully fun, but i didn't eat the fondant - who does?!?!?...
Since Judy, Julie & i are gonna wear our Hello Kitty dresses for the event, i'm gonna dress up my Hello Kitty cupcake-stand cake in the same dress! =D gotta start work'n on it ASAP so it'll come out the way i plan. IT'S CRAZY! i'm gonna use the lace from tofu's Halloween dress to make tutu on the cupcake stand (see Keroppi's striped red & white "body"?) this'll be totally crazy fun!!! just gotta start preparations early!!! plan'n has been underway. i must not wait til last minute, must not disappoint (myself)! LOL! i've gotta feed 20 people with all Hello Kitty-fied food & desserts. last year's Hello Kitty Brunch underfed everyone since i ran outta time on cooking/baking. then the Hello Kitty Sushi party for Judy's bday turn'd out to be only 50% Hello Kitty. SO...this time, it's gotta be BIGGER & BETTER!!! =D
