Ok, let's be honest. I don't really expect to win "best wedding cake of the year", but the cakes are definitely starting to improve. I've really come to enjoy the sugar jolt that I get from the cake sample I have. Same cake and frosting as usual (both made with coconut milk instead of cow milk), but this time we tried a 'flavored fondant'. It tasted MUCH better than the Wilton version...which I will never EVER eat again.
The fondant was a bit sticky, which made it difficult to flip during the rolling out process, but was manageable with some help from powdered sugar. I've gotten better at rolling out the fondant without grumbling angrily. After putting the fondant on top of the cakes I piped some of the excess frosting around the seams and in a heart on top. It's actually quite presentable.

And delicious! Don't forget delicious!
