Fondant fishies.
I can’t believe that Wyatt has turned two years old! Wowsers, where has the time gone? I debated and debated whether or not I would make Wyatt a fondant cake for his birthday or not. I didn’t have any great ideas for one, so I decided unless something popped into my mind then I wouldn’t worry about it. Well unfortunately for me something did pop into my mind. He loves fish and water, so I came up with this underwater theme. Keeping with my usual style and laziness, it’s still pretty simple. Like his cake last year, which was my first time attempting a fondant cake, for this second attempt I used 6″ cake pans to keep it small and, frankly, easier to make. It was fun, I actually made my own fondant this time instead of using the disgusting store bought fondant that I used last year. I don’t know how they can sell that stuff as edible, because it shouldn’t be. I used this recipe from All Recipes for the fondant, recommended by This and That. I also used the changes that reviewers recommend, using corn syrup instead of glucose syrup and decreasing the 1/4 cup of water to 3 Tablespoons. It turned out great, and was surprisingly simple to make.
Look how cute that is! I have never attempted fondant–makes me want to try! I can believe he is two either! Where does the time go?.
What a cutie! And great job on the cake, gotta love Allrecipes!
You made the fondant?!! You are amazing. It looks professional. You are so brave – it makes me want to try it too. The cake is darling.
I can’t believe how big Wyatt is getting! I have been thinking about him today. He is such a cutie!
Happy birthday to Wyatt! I’m assuming you didn’t have to debate this year about whether to let him try his cake or not. :) Love the picture of him and Joel together. We miss you!

What a lucky little boy to have such a fun and special cake on his birthday. Nice job on it! I’ve never tried fondant. Seriously, it looks difficult to me for some reason. Nice work!
I was looking at that aprons you made when you first started your blog, and wondering if you ever did a tutorial for them? I’d love to learn to make them! [email protected]
