Nightmares of Fondant dance through my head

This week has gone so fast, and nothing has gotten done. I have a list of things that need to be done before Saturday (the kids birthday party) and it is going no where!

I have however been having nightmares of fondant...

I always make the kids cakes. It is something I started when Hunter was 8 and he loves all the fun ones. You can see the past couple here and here. Boo always spends a couple weeks trying to figure out what her cake is going to be since they are not allowed to see them until it is time to blow out the candles.

I think that is the best part.

This year I am using fondant for the first time ever. I have been e-mailing Melody getting tips and watching video's on YouTube to get some starting tips.

I am freaked out.

Last night I had a nightmare about fondant, that the marshmallows wouldn't melt.

Now that is strange.

Tonight I will be making the fondant, and tomorrow night and Saturday I will be rolling and decorating the cakes.

I am sure it will turn out fine, but man it is all consuming!

you would be so sad if you saw my kids birthday cakes. "it's the thought that counts" really comes into play over at our house...
