My First attempt of fondant cake

Never knew what is fondant till lately i browsed through some cake pictures in Google. Those fondant figurines are so adorable, i just love it so much.
So, i started my journey of learning fondant decoration from 2 persons, Ween Nee ( a very good fondant artist who make awesome and perfect fondant figurines) and Amy. As a full time working adult plus mother, i  really could not find too much time to attend baking classes, so i read and watched some videos online on fondant decoration.
I got all the basic gadgets of fondant decoration from baking supplies shops, online ordering.... then, finally i decided to start my 1st project on fondant cake, in conjunction with my hubby's b'day!
It took me 3 days to complete the whole cake. i was busy with fondant colouring for the 1st day.
I know my husband will definitely like SLR camera, fountain pen, IT gadgets, cars..... but that will be technically too demanding for a beginner, ( 1st timer). So i decided to mould 2 figurines for him - he himself and his beloved son!


2nd day, i baked the cake, and moulded the figurines. My son kept disturbing me while i was doing the figurines, making the whole process eaten up much time of mine, and thank god he din spoil it ( after many warnings from me!). I told him that were papa and him, he was so happy, sitting looking at figurines for hours! Here are the figurines.....


And on the 3rd day, the birthday date itself, i completed the cake decoration.
This is the whole b'day cake presented to my husband!
