Madelyn's Baptism Cake

Little Madelyn had her baptism this past weekend on Valentines day. Of course the cake had to be fun and pink! Since I wanted to practice my fondant skills, I convinced my sister to allow me to use it even though she hates the taste.

The cake was a new recipe - I made a white cake which was very light and moist (no egg yolks) with lemon zest. I also made homemade lemon curd which was delicious. The buttercream was flavored lemon as well - This was pretty much a lemon overload cake!


I didn't use my homemade MMF this time - I purchased Satin Ice Vanilla Fondant online at Global Sugar Art - this seems to be the fondant that the cake decorators on television use all the time. I liked working with it and will continue to use it in the future! Also, I found that Global Sugar Art has some pretty good prices on this fondant - compared to the cake decorating supply store I usually go to!
