My First Fondant Cake!

My very first Fondant Cake for my son's 4th birthday last December. I remembered how nervous I am because it was a very long time ago I've done something like this. I have done several cakes during my high school and college days but I used royal icing back then. This cake was totally different because I used Marshmallow Fondant Icing. It became harder to do because I lack proper equipment like my oven was only a convection oven. I have to stay up all night just to bake 8 square pans of chocolate cake. Rolling of the fondant icing was also a big problem because I have to roll it twice as large as the actual cake and I have no big, smooth table. So, can you imagine how hard it is smoothing the surface of the fondant? Whew! But, I managed to survived! The design of the cake was Buzz of Toy Story whom was his favorite character during those times. My plan was to cut fondant icing to form Buzz but, as I have said I got frustrated with rolling it so I settled to my all time guaranteed icing, the Royal Icing. I finished the cake just in time for my son's celebration and I am proud to say that they all liked it especially my son.
