Sometimes I get on Pinterest to look at cake ideas and think, “That is so cute! There is no way mine would turn out like that though.”
For my daughters second birthday, I needed a Homemade Frozen Princess Cake for Beginners. I have no experience with fondant, am nowhere near the skills of say, Ashlee Marie, but I decided to go for it {the things we will do to see our children smile}.
I found out that marshmallow fondant is pretty easy. I actually made it in the microwave. See recipe here.
Then, I rolled out enough fondant to cover my blue velvet cake with vanilla frosting in between. The cake had cooled and I put it on like a blanket and formed it around the cake.
Next, I took the remainder of the marshmallow fondant and added in some blue food coloring and mixed it in part way with my gloved hands. It looked like swirly ice because I did not mix it all of the way.
After rolling the ice-looking fondant, I cut the edges to look like icicles then placed it over my white layer.
The rest was just ready made icing and clear sugar-like sprinkles.
This toy set is what made it come to life. No way in heck I would try to form Elsa and Ana, that would end up on the Pinterest Fail website for sure.
