While I am always looking for excuses to try something new in the realm of cake decorating, it is really more of an excuse to let the creative juices flow in any way they can. This year Cody asked for a Pokemon cake and I resorted to my standby favorite of using small toys to decorate with my theme. This year I had a good selection of toys, but I needed to create pokeball's to go with them. I was able to do this using gumball halves and some fondant. They turned out far better than I expected and I must put this as one of my top creations thus far. The rest of the cake was homemade fondant (which I think I am getting the hang of) and frosting piping to look like grass.
I have found a cake brand that is working well, I now need to focus on getting the edges straight and continuing to improve my ability to roll my fondant and get it smooth. But, the flexibility of colors with homemade fondant is allowing me a wider variety of creative options. Gotta love that!
