The final Fondant and Gumpaste class! We had the choice to makes one of several cakes in our book. I chose the daisy cake because I thought it was the prettiest, and it didn't involve making a drape. Preparation for this class was pretty extensive. It probably took 6 hours to bake the cake, level it, tort it, fill it, ice it with buttercream, cover my cakeboard in fondant, cover my cake in fondant, and do some gumpaste flower making. Those 6 hours plus the 2 hours spent in class makes 8 hours spent on making this cake! Hopefully I will get faster as time goes on.We didn't learn too much more in this class other than some more borders, then it was time to put together our cakes. Here is the final product! It is a french vanilla cake with strawberry filling. I even bought fresh strawberries to add to the filling, but when I picked them out of the fridge, I dropped them all over the floor. Oops. So no fresh strawberries.
