Present+Cake




=== I guess I just decided I wanted to make a cake in the shape of a wrapped present, I originally thought I would just frost it, use a fruit roll-up for the ribbon, and stick some circle candy on it. But when I went to Micheal's to look for decorating stuff, I happened upon //fondant,// a stiff frosting that you can roll out that makes the cake look smooth and more realistic. Of course I had to get it! (it tastes really bad, but it was worth it) Anyways, I also got some spray on frosting for fondant, and I think it really pulled the cake together. ===


=== I originally planned to make a square cake, but I didn't have the right pans, so I put a square on top of a rectangle. Once the block of fondant was rolled out, I draped it over the cake, cut off the edges, and frosted the cake. i also planned to make a bow out of fondant, but that didn't work either, so I made a gift tag. ===
