Okay, so I have shared the finished product for the first communion cake made yesterday (with the priceless help of my mom!) But I thought you might be interested to see a couple pics from the process. I snapped one nice shot if the strawberries all sliced up and laying in the middle waiting for the top layer of cake. I’m telling you, it’s moments like this one that make my husband very disappointed that I’m going to sell this cake instead of keeping it for us.
Here is a picture of the cake once I’ve had a chance to put a crumb frost on it. I have to say, I am incredibly proud of the shape of this cake. I don’t know the last time I baked a cake that was this level and had this perfect of an angle.
Something else notable about this cake is the pink fondant. As I’ve mentioned before, I like to make my own fondant. I have a great recipe that basically calls for marshmallows and powdered sugar. For this cake, I decided to use pink strawberry flavored marshmallows! I didn’t have to dye it and the flavor turned out great.
