Cakes are made of Flour and Water.

I threw a baby shower for my friend Jenny and got it in my mind that I was going to make a fondant cake. I didn't really want to make a fondant cake but like I said I got it stuck in my mind. I may lack motivation and gumption but if it is my head it is going to happen no matter what. Sooo not really wanting to make a cake that no one would eat because it had gross fondant on it, I decided to make a little cake, for decoration mostly. This way I could use a cake mix, store bought frosting and pre-colored fondant to ease the work load, since it didn't matter because no one was going to eat it. Here are a couple of pictures of the cute little sailboat cake, which turns out tasted really good when you peeled off the fondant.

A couple of days later I had another cake idea get stuck in my head, but when I went to grab a yellow cake mix, all I had was lemon, so I ended up making a white cake from scratch, which I'm sad to say was not as good as the cake mix. Here are pictures of my cake dedicated to my true hero Martha Stewart :) (The colors of the cake are the colors of her logos)
