Okay so good news is this:
MY FIRST COMMISSIONED CAKE!!!
Carrot Cake with raisins and walnuts and cream cheese icing. The cake and icing are PHENOMENAL!
Bad news is this:
It is nowhere near as perfect as I wanted it to be.
I have only worked with fondant one other time and this was not a good experience. As you can see, I mixed several different colors of fondant in what is called a "marble" color to give it a wood-grained look. Then, I used a wood-like fondant press to give it the look of boards of wood. I like the way it looks, but after I put the fondant on, it cracked. There are a few small cracks and this big one in the back:
I feel so horrible about this. I spent a lot of time on this cake and now I don't even want to charge the lady for anything but the ingredients. This stinks Dollies! There is just no way around that.
