Am I a child of the 80's...ah duh!


It's my second Wilton baking class and we got to do fondant! Yes! I've been waiting. So I researched what I was going to make. I couldn't just do one tier boringness. Then I stumbled upon this...
Nintendo cake? Yes please! I began to plan. I made my marshmallow fondant for the first time which was difficult because I didn't know the texture I was suppose to get. It's soft play-doh for those who are curious.

I have 2 kids. One of which is barely 2 months, the other 2 years old. So I bake during naptime or nightime. Late at night when they were asleep I made my grey fondant with my black tinting gel. The next morning I wake up early to make black and dark grey. Hmmmm...my black tinting gel is gone. Really? Just GONE! How? What? So what do I do? I make purple. No need to give up, just redesign. And here's the outcome.

I still haven't found the black gel, let's just hope I find it before my 2 year old does.
