Wow that's really lovely! I like to do cakes for people here and there but I do everything with piping/frosting. I actually did one today, that I'll post soon! I've made fondant once, for a cake I made my hubby for his bday, and it turned out alright, but it took so much longer because I'm not used to it, I think. And of course it was lumpy and bumpy. Haha Do you always make your own or have you used the store bought stuff too?

I have used store bought once, when i needed a black fondant for my brother's wedding cake. I didn't think i could possibly get a nice true black colour on my own! But otherwise yes, I have been naking my own fondant whenever I need!
My grandmother and mother did all the piping style decorations, and I can do a bit of that, but I think I'm better at fondant hahahaha
Oh, yes, good call! Black frosting is bad enough, I can only imagine how much dye you'd need for fondant... and then the consistency would probably be thrown way off... and then your arms would fall off from all the kneading. hahaha
They're really very different techniques, so of course you're going to be more comfortable with what you're used to. I may attempt some fondant again soon, just for fun. But it'll have to be for my hubby or just some random cake that I make "just because" so that I don't have to feel bad if it turns out like my 5yo's play-doh creations. 😜
