Okay, so it’s not technically my “first” fondant cake. I made one for my wedding years ago but it was like a nightmare.. the making it, the taste of it (store bought fondant), the whole experience of making my own wedding cake days before my wedding. I still don’t know what I was thinking.
This time and with homemade marshmallow fondant it was SO much fun! Saturday is Ethan’s birthday party and I have big plans for making a huge cake but I wanted to make sure I had at least half a clue as to what I was getting myself into so I wanted to just make a simple 2-layer cake and cover it in fondant to see if I could figure it out.. turns out I’m better at it than I thought I would be! I think it turned out great for a first time cake and had to show it off. This isn’t the cake I’ll be making for him in case you’re wondering. Ethan’s cake will be a 2 tier cake with a small round cake on the top made to match his toy story birthday party theme.
And in case you don’t already know it, marshmallow fondant is DELICIOUS and I’ll be posting the recipe I used later. Just be careful when you’re making it because you could easily consume a day’s worth of calories in less than 20 minutes.

My hubby makes Marshmellow Fondant cakes and he loves doing it! Says it’s very easy fondant to work with. I have to admit, I’m not a fan of any fondant, but I sure love what you can do to a cake with it! Great job on your first fondant cake and I’m sure well be seeing Cake Boss style cakes in no time!
It looks like you did a beautiful job
Looks great! I’d like to try that marshmallow fondant. I’ve only had the Wilton boxed fondant and don’t really like how that tastes.
It looks great!! I cant wait to see Ethans cake!
That’s great! I’ll be looking forward to the recipe. I tried fondant once and didn’t care for the taste, but I’ve never made a cake with it. Looks awesome!
