50s Cakes

These cakes were for a teacher's little girl's birthday. She was having a 50s theme, and she wanted a poodle skirt cake and a record cake.

Since there was going to be a lot of black on the cake and I wanted to try a different "look," I decided to try out fondant on this cake. I never took a fondant class, but from the little research I did on the internet it seemed like edible play-doh. I went to the store and bought some ready-made black fondant and went crazy.

I decided to try to make one cake into a poodle skirt. In looking back at this I think I'd have made the shape of the skirt different...It was a hard cake to make.


The second cake turned out a bit better...I cut music notes and the "record" out of the black fondant.
