To Fondant or not to Fondant, that is the question.
I am often asked what is "Fondant". Well Fondant is not butter cream icing. But what it is, is a very soft, pliable sugar based rolled out dough, that is formed over a butter cream iced cake. It has a taffy like, mild vanilla or almond flavor. My Fondant is soft and delicious. It's very smoooth porcelin like finish is what the in-style bride is looking for. And it's abilities to be made into any shape or design is almost endless. It's so versatile and durable, its perfect for the High Standards of creativity, that our Southern Utah brides, puts on us cake decorators.
I have made everything from fondant roses, orchids and callalilies to "Mad hatters & Whimsical fairy tale" cakes to nature's "Grand Canyon" and "Zion Canyon Walls". It is simply amazing what can be made by talented hands and sugar. It is only limited by your imagination.
This was an amazing and fun cake I did for a lovely couple who were both teachers who taught in China for 2 years. They had a Chinese theme wedding reception. I hand painted the Dragon and bird, which represent the bride and groom. I also did a Pagoda on the top with a "Double Happiness" symbol. The gate represented their starting a new life together.
