My second cake this weekend was for an 8 year old who had her party at the bowling alley. Her mom wanted a "cosmic bowling" themed cake. I thought about black lights and that took me to "black icing" and neon colors. This is the end result:
I tried a new recipe for chocolate marshmallow fondant. It was "ok" but I found it was a littler drier than my other recipes. (It still tasted delicious. I've been enjoying the left over fondant.) I also tried a new powdered sugar this time. I was very disappointed. It wasn't as powder fine as it should have been. I'll keep the brand nameless since there are lots of their products that I do enjoy. However, it's best to stick with name brands. The only off brand that I've found to be just as good is Walmart's Great Value. (Just a little F.Y.I.)
Anyway, my mom was in town for the weekend and asked if there was anything she could do to help. I gave her some fondant and told her to put her playdoh skills to work. So she gets credit for the bowling pins! (Thanks Mom)
