The Christmas Cake!


So this is way late (I am super behind on posting). But this is my Christmas cake. I hosted Christmas at my house this year. Full spread complete with turkey, ham, and all the fixings. To top it off this was our dessert... I was just really looking for an excuse to make a cake!!

It's an 3x8in and 3x10in rounds. Classic yellow cake with strawberry filling. Covered with classic buttercream and then rolled fondant. With fondant cut outs. This was my first attempt (and success) at fondant. I LOVE how it turned out!

I did learn one really important lesson. Don't let the hubby roll the fondant border after a few drinks. Sure he'll enjoy it... but its most definitely  inconsistent!
