I have a new hobby - well sort of...

I have been wanting to try icing a cake with fondant icing for a long time now. Decorating cakes has always fascinated me... It's like art! Anyways, while Jer was out of town my friend Tara came over and we took the plunge. The cake is kind of random, but we wanted to try all sorts of things, like diamonds, ribbed edges, flowers, colors etc...

Needless to say, I had so much fun. I keep looking at all sorts of pictures on the internet and want to do more and more. I might go to a class or 2 to learn techniques, cause this cake was done with a knife and noodle cutter... I'm sure there are tools and tips to make things cooler.

Anyways, now if if only I had reasons to make cakes - I can't have these around my house all the time - they would get eaten!
