This was the very first time that I have used fondant. After watching many You Tube videos and talking to a lot of people I worked up the courage to actually do it. I made Wilton's Marshmallow fondant. I then colored the fondant with gel coloring. I used a large cupcake mold for the cake which was Funfetti.
I then covered the cake with buttercream frosting. Then I rolled out the white fondant and covered the bottom and the top of the cake.
Then I rolled out the red fondant and cut it into strips and triangles for the base and top.
Then I rolled out the blue fondant and made the curtain details.
I also made an elephant and lion out of fondant. I followed some directions online for both of these animals.
It was a lot of work but I was very happy with the results. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. Here is little man digging in.
LOVE this cake Elyse, wish we could have been there! Where did you get the giant cupcake mold? I am looking for one for Charlie's birthday, Bed Bath and Beyond?
