My Neighbor Totoro.... THE CAKE!



What can I say? Wow, right? This was my first time with fondant.



It was really hard to mix the food coloring into the white fondant... there was a lot of kneading and rolling. I started with a small bit and when I got a satisfactory color, I started working in the rest of it.



Unfortunately, I don't think I could work fast enough for the fondant as it began to dry up. It was very stiff as well and I couldn't quite get it pliable enough to look as elegant as it does on those wedding cakes we all see. Good thing I was making a small cake! And it's only for fun anyway! Think the birthday boy will like it?
