So tonight i started to make the fondant for my cake. I believe i wrote about it on here a bit but ill just quickly recap. im gonna make a cake cuz we have an associate meeting sunday. so i decided to make a cakeish. i was gonna make a cake from scratch but just decided to use the box of cake mix instead xD. because i have to work saturday 3-10om and then sunday morning 8-2pm and when the cookout is at 6, it doesnt give me much time at all. soooo the cake is gonna be covered with blue fondant and have red paw prints over it. well...coloring fondant is ridiculous. granted i am using food coloring cuz that was all i had so it is gonna take a lot more of it than the coloring gels but w/e. i managed to get a light blue color which is in a kinda big size of fondant. the "red" is currently a pink color and is a smaller ball of fondant which this one got more color to it i guess because it was in a smaller size and i was able to knead it a lot better but it is pretty difficult to get red in general. i saw on a website that red tends to get darker as it sits and "ages." so i am not gonna use it until sunday so hopefully it gets darker. ill check on saturday to see what happens and if not ill just add some more color. i hope that the blue gets darker too cuz it is a light blue atm. i have no idea what it tastes like though. i didnt even think to taste it until just a couple minutes ago. maybe ill taste it before i put it on the cake. the mix i bought is a yellow cake with fudge swirls. so hopefully it will be delicious. What it is made of is simply marshmallows, water and powdered sugar. so i guess it cant taste all that bad. ill def put some pics up later whether or not it is successful xD
