The next attempt..

So I had another go at a cake today, this time sans the fondant. It's far from perfect and I admittedly got a little lazy before I finished, but I think I'm improving. See for yourself...

I think the color of the frosting is definately better this time, and I kind of like the little flowers. I'm still trying to decide what I'll do for the "actual" cake/cupcakes as far as design goes, but what a better way to find out! I still have hope for making use of that fondant though, perhaps using it as decoration in the form of flowers or something.

Stay tuned....
