Gumpaste flowers and Marshmallow Fondant Cake

It's funny how some hobbies never die.  I've always been the baker in my family (even if it did start with store bought pudding packets), and I still love to make a pretty cake. I've only made a few unique ones, and that was in high school for my boyfriend. I definitely didn't know any of the fancy techniques, but in the past few years with all the cake shows on t.v., I've been dying to try my hand at some fondant covered cakes. I first tried making one for my boyfriend's birthday, but ended up having to scratch the fondant altogether because it just wouldn't cooperate.  So my fabulous mother enrolled us in our local Wilton Cake Decorating classes for gumpaste and fondant, and we had a blast! Here are some pictures of our final cake, and here's the recipe I used for the marshmallow fondant. Maybe I'll post a step-by-step process of making and covering the cake with fondant in the future, because it actually went a lot smoother than I thought! (My cake is the blue one!)
