Second Fondant Birthday Cake

 I would like to share some pictures of my second attempt in making birthday cakes iced with fondant.  Tatum and Cole are twins and just turned 10.  Tatum being a girl wanted a cake with Shaymin - a Pokemon character and Cole wanted a chocolate cake and provided me with the toys he wanted to be on top of his cake.  Happy Birthday, Tatum and Cole.

I used this cocoa-yogurt-layer-cake for the cakes.  For the recipe and how to make Gumpaste and Marshmallow Fondant is HERE.  The Buttercream recipe is HERE Read More......

Cocoa Yogurt Layer Cake

I have been preoccupied the whole of last week, doing what?????? What else? Making figurines out of gumpaste and baking of course. I had to make a cake for a set of twins, Tatum and Cole who turned 10. Cole wanted a Chocolate Cake, so this was the cake i made. I took this opportunity to experiment on 'HOW to bake a LEVEL cake', one which i did not have to level by cutting into the cake. I am sure, all you bakers will agree on how frustrating it must be, to level cakes by slicing and ending up with mounts of scrapes. I will post my experiments as soon as possible but first i would like to share this cake recipe which is a very tender, inexpensive cake.
