Fondant Roses

This is a terrible picture but I did want to document that I have made roses out of fondant. I don't know if I will ever make them again because personally I think REAL flowers look best on a fondant cake (and take way less time) but it is good to know that if need be I could make them- you know, in case of emergency:)


Fondant

Heres' my first attempt at a fondant cake- (well I think I remember doing one in Junior High but this is definitely the first in my adult life). This time I thought I would document the process. I tried a new recipe for a "rich dark chocolate cake" with a dark chocolate ganache. I made it in a 6X3 round pan and then cut it into a square.




The bow was stuffed with tissues until it dried so that the loops would hold their shape.
