Man alive. I had such high hopes for this cake. I knew I would need to plan ahead and try out these fondant flowers ahead of time, so I attempted it today.
This was the inspiration. Gorgeous petals in the faintest of ombre.
Somehow, I always fail to remember that what I see on Pinterest is not always recommended at home! These people are professionals! I spent forever the last week or so finding the right tools and cutters to get the petals shaped correctly, and finally tried it out. Yeah. It isn't going to work. I made homemade marshmallow fondant, and I had a hard time getting the consistency right. It had to be rolled pretty dang thin, but then it would crack and be too dry. Grr. So I tried not rolling it quite so thin, and the 'flowers' you form just went plop.
The petals were just too heavy and too thick. And I don't have time to figure this out several times before the baptism.
Especially because this little man is here with us today. It's just not going to happen. So i will consult Pinterest and come up with plan B.
