A better day with the cake experimenting :)

This morning when I first started I had a rough time cutting the sugarveil. Then the afternoon got better :)

Tonight I made some fondant. It's even tasty and I covered my first "cake pan" and it turned out great! Guess I'll give this ladybug cake a try with the fondant!
The bottom edge is a little rough since it has a lip on it...
You can see the pile up top that was a rough mess... I love the sugarveil though. The ruffle is made with it and it's super flexilbe and has a great texture. Spreading it super thin made it cut super easily. If you look on the one sheet you can see how tiny it cut the name, but I didn't quite keep it all. The simple shapes are cut out of the gumpaste recipe that Tiffany sent. It works super easy. I like it because you can roll up the "waste" microwave it and start all over.
Just playing to see what it would look like...
Buying the non stick mat and fondant roller was well worth it. Definitely made things go well.
