Katie's Kickers: Cowgirl Cake!

To start off... I'd just like to say that a swamp cooler and fondant do NOT go together...

It was way too warm in my house for this fondant to set up properly. I was fighting with it the whole time, and I had to have my mother dearest text her friends from work in the Costco Bakery to give me pointers half the night on what to do with this sticky fondant!

I have looked at it for far too long, so I'm not exactly thrilled with how it turned out. But the cute girls I made this cake for said they loved it. :)

Just don't look too closely ;)

I made my little accessories out of fondant too. The cowgirl belt was probably the easiest.. ( only because my mom actually rolled it out and cut it for me ;) ) And we found the cute little felt hat down in our Christmas decorations. It had a cute little finishing touch to the cake.

The stars and horseshoes were a little bit tricky with all the silver food spray I put all over them. And as you can see, my fingerprints took most of the spray off. BUT.... I did stop off at WalMart on my way out to Veyo to pick up some more spray (since I ran out) and I touched up the horseshoes and stars in the parking lot before I delivered the cake :) I just forgot to take better pictures :/

So.. If anyone wants a fondant cake... I'll have to remember we need the A/C on before I attempt to start any fondant making!

Again.. Don't look too closely at all the details.. :x
