Fun With Fondant

Sometimes things are slow here at the Sweetshop. I guess I could just sit back during the slow times and do other things. But that's not me. Like some people are driven to do great things-- cure cancer, go to the moon, feed the hungry-- me, well, I'm driven to bake!

So, last night, with no projects looming in the queue, I decided to bake a quick cake and play around with some fondant. I always learn things when I bake without purpose. Last night I learned that red and black fondant can be kind of tricky on a white background. And this morning I learned that the light in my kitchen at 7:45 is not particularly good for food photography. (Please forgive the shadows and hot spots.)

I hope the guys in JBB's office enjoy this one!
