Sweetened Cream filling and Chocolate Buttercream(BC) icing. I used the Frozen Buttercream Transfer technique for the logo (Forum Snowboards).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my first-ever fondant covered cake. I used a 5" cake that I filled with Vanilla BC. I also used the VBC under the fondant. Marshmallow Fondant turned out great...was very easy to make and cut. Wish my cookie dough came out that good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, I made WASC mini cupcakes topped with Vanilla Buttercream frosting for an employee's going away/client appreciation event. They were very well received!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This last one is referred to as a "Belly" or "Bump" cake. My friend asked me to make a cake for a baby shower she's hosting and I wanted to practice first. I had never worked with a fondant covered, shaped cake before and also wanted to play around with coloring fondant. For a practice cake, it doesn't look half bad!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2298929716782476223-5490751068075332876?l=flourgirldesserts.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://flourgirldesserts.blogspot.com/feeds/5490751068075332876/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://flourgirldesserts.blogspot.com/2009/07/practice-cakes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2298929716782476223/posts/default/5490751068075332876'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2298929716782476223/posts/default/5490751068075332876'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://flourgirldesserts.blogspot.com/2009/07/practice-cakes.html' title='Practice Cakes'/><author><name>FlourGirl</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14018337025280790736</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298929716782476223.post-4966748226373963670</id><published>2009-07-14T15:50:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-14T15:51:41.776-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='beginning'/><title type='text'>New beginnings...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;This is the start of my dessert/cake/cupcake business/hobby/obsession blog!
