First-time fondant Fun!

So, my wonderful friend, Rebecca, asked if I could make graduation cupcakes for her husband's graduation party.. of course I said yes! She found a pic of little graduation caps made out of fondant online and asked if I could do something like that.... ummmm... "of course!", I said.

Yeah, I had never worked with fondant before, but I love a good challenge.

I spent the morning and some of my afternoon on Memorial day making little fondant graduation caps and diplomas... I think they turned out pretty good for a first-timer. And I had so much fun making them. It's so rewarding to take a lump of fondant and make it resemble something.. I think I may have found a new hobby :)

I used the pre-colored fondant made by Wilton's which I purchased at Michaels. It didn't take very much fondant, I had about 1/2 of each color left-over.

I made my own templates out of paper and just jumped right in!

Here's the final result! Strawberry , Vanilla, Chocolate.
