I had the honour of making two really fun cakes for two dear friend's husbands...However, it is tricky making an actual person out of fondant - I worried that if I didn't have their features quite right they could be down-right offended. I was thankfully given full-creative license on both cakes, and I think both Fondant Barry and Fondant Flav were a success!
First up is Fondant Barry Kayaking with his Faithful Blind Cat Stevie. Followed by Fondant Flav and his Egg-laying Chickens! Check them out...

I started making cakes a week after my son was born. I think I watched all the cake shows while pregnant. :) I love those. I am making a kayak cake soon. Did you use only fondant to make the kayak? Or mixed with gum paste? I normally make MMF so I'm wondering if it would keep its shape. I also live in GA and it gets very humid here
ReplyDeleteHi Alanna! Sorry for the delay in responding. I originally made the kayak just out of fondant, but it was a very soft fondant and the kayak started to bend when picked up. So...I made another from fondant and tylose (or gumpaste would work as well). Had I used my regular fondant I think it would have firmed up fine. Marshmallow fondant does tend to be softer so I would add some tylose to it, or use half fondant/half gumpaste to make it, or just gumpaste if it gets really humid! Good luck!
