Valentine's Fondant Cake



Sharing a pretty fondant cake I made February of last year in hopes to spread some inspiration for many this year.  Believe it or not this was the very first time I had ever touched fondant, thanks to Jennifer at Make It Sweet.  I am looking forward to all of the fun decorating and treat creating for this Valentine's Day.  Oh gosh if only I knew a grade school teacher in Austin, TX that I could make something for their classroom.  I'll pretend that the silly crackdown on vetoing classroom holiday parties in the United States doesn't exist.
