My friend, Bernadette, and her daughter, Sarah, came over on Thursday afternoon for some cake decorating fun. We started with making the buttercream frosting, sealing the crumbs with a thin layer, the final frosting and smoothing with plastic wrap.
Sarah did a little piping, but young hands have difficulty with the pastry bag! She LOVED using fondant. I had some leftover fondant from the "Giraffe Cake". I used this recipe for the fondant.
I think fondant is a great way for the younger crowd to decorate cakes. It is so similar to using playdough!
She did an awesome job.
I love her look of concentration.
I certainly had fun, and I'm pretty sure she did too!
Watch out "Cake Boss". (It is her favorite show.)
Y'all come back,
