Playing with Fondant

Life with 4 boys, I love it!

YAY! WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! Well, almost. We've signed papers. I'll post pictures when the current owners move out and I can take pictures without potentially crossing that peeping Tom line. Still, YAY!

So a while ago we all went up to the house formerly known as Lauras' which is now an empty shell because they've abandoned us and moved to Utah. While we were there we played with fondant and made some new friends. I thought I'd do a quickie post on a few of the things we covered for those of you who were there. So, here is a link to the post with the fondant recipe as well as some icing, cake and filling recipes. Also, here is the website for the store in Sugarland that I go to to get anything I can't find at the local Hobby Lobby. Be warned though, their shipping charges are really high, so if you can go there to get what you want you'll be better off. (Besides, if you can go without kids it's fun to browse a bit too). I'm doing a couple of cakes next week. One is a cake for the quinciañera of a girl I teach in Sunday school and one is a pirate ship cake for Ethan's birthday. They'll both be covered in fondant and I'll try to take pictures as I go so I can explain some techniques for you. Hope you're having fun with your fondant and feel free to e-mail me anytime with questions at mindywhipple@gmail.com.
