Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

I’m ready to give up on decorating. Had so much trouble with the fondant on this one. After a few choice words and a little break, managed to put it together. I really have to remember that I have trouble every time I use this particular brand of marshmallows. Not happy with the finish at all but at least I know it will taste good. The bottom tier is strawberry cake filled with cheesecake (an actual cheesecake which is Kevin’s favorite) and chocolate smbc. Top is banana, filled with milk chocolate ganache and smbc. Hopefully my godson will like it. So proud of him for going back to school while holding a full time job and doing renovations in his house.

Looks great to me Goreti. Wonderful design, and as Katy say, well executed. You know, I stick to a particular No Name store brand of marshmallows. Every time I buy a well known "name brand".... kraft, jet puff.... etc., I always have trouble with my fondant turning out. I have discovered now "white chocolate fondant".  Just your homemade mmf with addition of melted white chcocolate. Tastes super good and the white chocolate helps fondant keep it's shape, and makes it easier to roll, shape etc.   :o)

I didn't want to make him a girly cake.  The school colors are Black & Gold.  This was not the original design that I had sketched but had to make some changes to hide the problems.  Still fairly close to what I was going for.

Thanks Gail.  Not too thrilled with it but it is what it is.  I have to remember not to use these marshmallow again.  I haven't used then for awhile and have had much better luck with the fondant with the store brand.
