My youngest son requested a yellow submarine and octopus cake for his birthday last week.

It was my first time working with fondant and well....it could have been better.  Those sea stars covered up a multitude of sins!  I really had a good time with the fondant.  I'll have to get some more practice, I can see now why it is so popular.  I used Wilton ready made, but next time I might try making my own.  I had originally wanted to cover the cake in a white chocolate ganache but it just would not set up!  So on with the fondant. I had the cake assembled and poured the ganache, when it didn't set I took the cake apart, scrapped the ganache off and started rolling fondant.  The fondant was a better colour anyway!

The whole thing took about 24 hours.  It was totally worth it!  I used the Magnolia Bakery cake recipe so it was tasty too!

By the time the party started it was starting  to sink a bit in the back from the weight of the layers.  It would have been fine if I hadn't had to take it all apart to put the fondant on.  I knew there was no way I could roll a sheet big enough to cover the cake in one piece.

There are more photos and some other crafty party things on my blog.

I love the orange tie-dyed stars, I think those are my favorite thing about it!  Great work Smiley

Nobody knows where the enemy is. They don't even know he exists. He's in every one of their heads. And they trust him because they think they are him. If you try to destroy him to save them, they'll destroy you to save him. The greatest con he ever pulled was making you believe that he is you.
