st. croix, u.s.v.i. cake.



wooooo!!! this was the st. croix cake i made for my boyfriend. it was my first time working with fondant, and i think for my first time i did pretty well. i got all the supplies to make this cake from a.c. moore, a local arts & crafts store. food coloring, fondant, cake pans, etc. i think i spent about... $60 total? yea, probably. i didnt add any flavoring to the fondant, but the actual cake was french vanilla. it was pretty fun, also time consuming. baking in general requires a lot of patience. its not like cooking in a restaurant...you dont just jump back there and send out plates by the minute. you create, you bake, and then you wait. i started at 2 pm and ended roughly around 6, having to rush at the end because i had to be to work at 6:30.

honestly, fondant is probably one of the toughest things i had to cut through. but, i managed to do it. i love baking, and i will definitley keep doing it. and i WILL start using fondant more often.
