I went over to my aunt’s house on Wednesday to interview her, and also so she could help me decorate a cake. First she taught me tricks on how to make fondant. We used food coloring to make the fondant different colors. Then she guided me as I cut different shapes out of the fondant. She suggested that I use a cookie cutter to cut circles out of the fondant. That way the edges would be perfectly smooth. Finally we laid the fondant icing on top of the cake and decorated it with the circles we had cut out.
I really enjoyed decorating this cake with my aunt because we had a lot of fun. I loved the tricks she showed me with using a cookie cutter. At first I was getting pretty frustrated trying to cut the perfect circle that it never dawned on me to use a cookie cutter. I don’t think I could have decorated it by myself for the first time because laying the fondant on the cake was more difficult than it seems. It was such a great accomplishment to look at the final masterpiece that we had created. My aunt had great knowledge and was very good at teaching me. I am so thankful that she was willing to spend her time helping me.
