Well this was fun. Two tiered chocolate cake with buttercream then fondant. The grass is fondant as is everything else. The leaves, stones, flowers, fairy tree house, pumpkin, toadstools etc. I am wrapped with the colours and form for the most part. I have made these small bits a few days earlier to enable time for them to dry, but even allowing for that, when I put the cake together this morning a few of my flowers simply fell apart. The air is damp and even though I thought they had dried out sufficiently, I was wrong. I need to prepare the fondant with hardener so that this doesn't happen again. Unlike the fire truck and designs that require straight lines, you can get away with lack of perfection with flowers and leaves. Hope you like this as much as I do.
