i think i have mentioned before that i volunteered to make two baby shower cakes for a couple of my co-workers. it was fun, but i have made a decision…no more. not that i won’t gift a friend a cake, that i will definitely do, but i don’t think i will be covering any more cakes in fondant. i’m not saying, never ever again…i’m just too indecisive for that…but as far as i can see, no more.
i am a jaw clencher. when i am stressed out or concentrating i will tighten my jaw and hold my breath. sometimes it is during the day, a lot of the time my jaw clenching happens in the night and i awake with a sore jaw and teeth. not good. so, to cut out one source of clenching i my life, i’ve decided to cut out fondant cakes. i am sure with practice and determination i could create beautifully covered cakes–smooth and adorable–but for the sake of my jaw i won’t be any longer. besides, i don’t think fondant looks that appetizing anyway.
pretty? yes.
tasty? no.
and, i just peel it off and eat what is beaneath (does everyone else do that? i am under the impression that they do…) now, i am not saying that i am going to turn away any gorgeous fondant covered confections that come my way…come on now…i am just saying that i won’t be making them.
this was the last cake i made. i have to say the peas are adorbale (if not a tired theme…), though my piping skills leave something to be desired. cute and fun, but not for me. not to say that i’m not cute and fun…ha.
