Wait. That makes this post sound way more fun than it really is.
I tried covering my daughter's (the ULMC) birthday cake with fondant. I hate saying "fondant," since it's nearly impossible for me to say it without sounding like I am poorly impersonating a British butler. Fohndahnt. Plus it had a kind of nasty feel to it, like if Play-doh and frosting had a baby, it would be fondant.
Here are the results:
It's a birthday carrot cake (the ULMC's favorite) from Tasty Kitchen, an offshoot from the Pioneer Woman. The cake itself was very easy to make and smells heavenly - I can't wait to try it tonight!
It's not nearly as pretty, smooth, and perfect as I imagined it would be, so no quitting my day job. Plus, adding the color to the fondant turned my hands into claws. Seriously, I couldn't pick up a pencil for an hour.
If this ends up on Cake Wrecks I will be crushed.
Updated: We ate it and it actually tasted kind of fabulous! Even the ULMC liked it!

That cake looks fabulous! I am scared to try using fondant so you are one impressive pastry chef IMO ;-)
That cake is no wreck! And I'm impressed that you used fohndahnt. (It's much more fun to type that way.)
