Cake adventure

Sunday night my sister and I decided to bake something. We got out my cookbooks and found an easy chocolate cake recipe and went to work. This was my first EVER cake from scratch, very exciting. Lori wanted to make cupcakes and I wanted to experiment with fondant so we compromised, she made one batch of cupcakes and I made one 8x8 square. Lori frosted and sprinkled the cupcakes and they were GREAT! I cut my cake into four pieces and stacked one on top of another with strawberry frosting in the center, making two little layered squares. Then I mixed the fondant with blue coloring and got this great marbled look so decided to go with it. The corners I didn't really think through, and I've decided I don't like the taste of fondant, but it looks really neat! I made two but this one's the only one worth documenting.



I also just realized this is a kind of a big post for cake. . .
