Thank you !
I agree about fondant. I never thought it tasted good either, so I never used it. I never understood when it became all the rage. Sure you could make quite an amazing sculpture using it and if it was just for show, ok ! However, if it was supposed to be eaten, the flavor was quite the fail.
My Mom used to make us doll cakes too. It was a whole doll, but it was a cheaper plastic one and shorter than barbie. She would make a stacked cake with graduated layers getting smaller as it went up and she would put the doll in the top and make an icing bodice.
Vinegar and Chess Pie I am sure are the same or very close. I did enjoy my birthday. My family made it quiet the happy day for me.
