Those who are familiar with my work will know I love to be creative, and to break away from the convention and try something new.

Valentine's day was coming up so I didn't think twice to create a cake with little hearts, but like I said I want to break away from my whipped cream cakes and try something different, why not fondant? I always heard so much about it, but was never brave enough to try. I new this is the perfect moment because fondant it's so time consuming and I wasn't working at that time.

After I went to Michael's and spent way more than I expected, including 1 book how to rolled fondant. I was ready to start.

Stage one:
I bake 2 small loaf cakes and because was just the first one, didn't care much for the filling so just put some butter cream and use the same to cover it. After spending a long time trying to make really smooth (or it will show the lumps when you add the fondant) I kept in the fridge for at least 30 min. I Confess that I didn't like this part very much, MESSY!

Stage two:
I Roll out the fondant, a little tricky the first time, but at the same time so much fun. It's like play doh, reminds me when I was a kid.
When I finish covering the cake with the white fondant I dye a small piece of it pink and cut hearts shape to attach to the cake using a layer of frosting as the 'glue' to hold it in place. Like my first cake wasn't perfect I use the little hearts to cover all the imperfections in it. I love that idea because really works.
