Well, I was able to get a few pictures uploaded, but not really the ones I wanted. These are pictures of my cake, but the original pictures I couldn’t get uploaded. I wanted to post some pictures of the process, but all I have now is the finished product. I have two pictures I want to show a couple problems I encountered and then I have a full shot of the cake. It’s not the best, and the designs really were not thought out, but I don’t think it’s too bad for a first try.

  As you can see, there is some cracking in the fondant on the left side.  This was marshmallow fondant and I think a) my marshmallows were not melted enough or b) I put too much powdered sugar in the mix.

  You can see the bottom of the cake – I didn’t cut the fondant enough to make a nice edge.  It would’ve been better to not cut enough off the bottom and trim it, than cut too much (or not evenly) like I did.

  This is the full cake.  And I’m noticing … I really need to change my tablecloth!  It’s no longer Christmas! 

I hope you like the pictures!  I’m going to keep working on cake decorating.  I have a feeling my friends will be gaining some weight eating all this cake!
