Ornament Cake -complete-

Cake for a christmas party at my Hapkido dojo

Yellow cake with chocolate frosting (i was so aggravated with my present box cake that I refused to make my usual from scratch buttercream frosting, so i used store bought frosting......it made the fondant sag :[ )

The gold/yellow "topper" of the ornament is rice crispy treat molded and covered with fondant

The designing
ohmygod it was the hugest pain in my ass ever

It was crappy icing i found in my cabinent (we had forgotten to buy new icing and there was no time to go back to the store) It was running a bit low, and came in a tube

It was too thick to squeeze from tube onto the cake directly without just making big balls of icing.

So i had to squirt out wads of icing...roll them into balls...and then roll them out again into long skinny tube WITH MY HANDS

the stuff kept breaking and getting all gooey and stuff
and not sticking to the fondant

and then it dried and i touched it wrong and it started cracking and falling off

it was terrible lol


i think all of these cake mishaps are a sign that i shouldnt make cakes xD
