I wanted to practice using fondant because I was asked by my aunt to make my cousins graduation cake. So this was my first attempt using fondant and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I had it all built up in my head that it was going to be so difficult. I know it's not a craft but baking is another love of mine.
