This cake was inspired by another cake of mine from back in 2009 (maybe early 2010?) The graduate-to-be's school colors were blue and green, and she informed me she is "In Love With Pink". She was so cute! She wanted yellow cake with fondant, so I got going on it and cranked out this fun, whimsical cake.
It's been a while since I did fondant, and I realized yet again that while I don't ejnoy cooking with a microwave, they really are quite useful for warming fondant for easier rolling and for making it have more elasticity. I think I will have to finally cave and buy one for cake use.
My camera batteries died the second I tried to take a picture of this cake, so I was stuck with a very bad picture taken with my webcam. Thankfully, my client agreed to send me a couple of pictures she took so I'd have something to show here. Thank you!
I tried to make up a decent sugar-free cake recipe for the top tier, but I fell short after two completely botched tries. The second one wasn't as embarassing, but still pretty bad. I did purchase a huge bag of granulated Splenda and I plan on finding something that tastes as good as my special yellow cake...it's just going to take time and patience.
Congratulations, Class of 2011! You Did It!
