Finally, i did it! Phew :}

Have been busy preparing so hard for my sis V biggest 21st birthday coming on 1st of Nov. I was a novice to fondant world and knew nothing about 2 tier cake. She was very excited for her birthday and organize a celebration on chalet on this coming 30th Oct. I decided to take up these huge challenge to bake a 2 tier fondant cake, which i never try before.
So have been browsing through the web for tutorial on fondant, finally decides on baking a chocolate cake cover with marshmallow fondant and some daisy with butterflies. Recently, have been trying my hands on marshmallow fondant and butter cream. I venture different recipes and found the marshmallow easy and tasty. But was afraid the butter cream might melt on me and i finally found these.

The above cupcakes was a last min decision to bake for my friend daughter, i made 40 small cupcakes with butter cream and marshmallow fondant deco. Pardon me, i do not have the proper set of cutter for fondant. Currently, i am using the cookies cutter i had on hand. Marshmallow fondant was quite sticky to handle than sugar paste and it does not harden well. Shall try a fondant cake for my 2nd sis J on this 23rd of Oct to gain some confident first. Hopefully, i do have some spare time to join this month Aspiring Baker's on kueh theme. Baking fairy, if you can hear me please make a trip to my house and stay for a month :). I will have to go MIL for awhile to prepare for my exam LOL.....
