First time with Fondant!

This lovely cake was for my sweet little girl, Madison's, 5th birthday. She wanted a princess cake and I was trying to think of what i could do to make it really special for her. I finally decided I was ready to just go for it and try fondant. Let me tell you..I am so glad I did! It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be.
The whole thing was edible except for the crown. I found some really neat stuff at a local store that has all kind of baking supplies. It's called Stefanie's Sweet's and I just love it there! I found those little edible pearls and some luster dust to make some stuff sparkle. I was super excited with the result after much trouble from my stubborn bow..which ended up lovely..don't ya think? The bottom tier of this cake is a 9 inch, 3 layer devil's food cake iced with buttercream. The top tier is a 2 layer, 6 inch white cake and that was also iced with a nice fluffy buttercream..yumm!
Happy 5th Birthday Madonna Key..hehe! (she decided that is what she wants to be called now)
