Good for you!! Look at it this way, now you know what not to do next time. ;-D Actually, it looks pretty good for a first attempt, especially since you did it on your own.
I had a girlfriend who took a series of Wilton Cake Decorating classes. She spent a small fortune on the classes and a large one on all the pans, tips, colorings and who knows what else. Her first (thru fourth, actually) cake had more colors, but didn't look this good.
1 - you can make the layers as thick or thin as you want, depends on how much cake you want lol 2 - it gets way easier the more you mess with it. 3 - A pizza cutter is freakin' awesome at cutting the fondant. And way sharper than those little plastic things 4 - Lesson learned lol 5 - it looks great for a first time!
Did you use canned frosting? Fondant is hard to smooth over canned stuff. Use buttercream, it's awesome.
Thank you for your help and advice. I really appreciate it.
No, I didn't use canned frosting. I actually bought a box of whipped topping (from Wilton) and a box of buttercream. I used the whipped topping instead of the buttercream, but I'll probably use the buttercream next time.
