today was a baking day. i was in a cake mood. a chocolate cake mood. and i had been wanting to do something with fondant. i tried my hand at a 3d bear the other night and it came out good. today i wanted to do a 2d creation. this is my second time to work with tinting fondant and i think i have the process down now. but this is my first time to create an animal for a cake. once the cake was made, i realized i should've piped the mane and put the fondant pieces on top of that. but i put the head down first and then piped the lion's mane. once the fondant was down i couldn't move it without breaking it.
today's creation: a devil's food cake with decorator frosting tinted sky blue featuring a fondant lion with tinted brown decorator frosting for the mane.
tomorrow the inlaws are coming in town for a few days. i'm planning on taking advantage of their visit to get some free babysitting. i want to go to the movies and eat at pf changs. so that's the plan for friday night. donald wants to try and go see a fireworks show on saturday night. we've done that for the last two years, so it's kind of becoming a family tradition. other than that, we plan on a low key weekend.
