There has always been a great debate in the cake world and I would like your opinion. Do you eat the fondant on a cake or do you peel it off and toss it???? I know many who do not like the taste and merely consider it a decoration, but I know others who think it is great and eat it up. Also, if you were ordering a cake, would you go with fondant covered or plain buttercream considering taste, appearance, and cost? Thanks for your thoughts.
I made this cake for my brother-in-law's birthday this weekend. I tried a new recipe and was glad that I did. It was "snickerdoodle" flavor and reminded me of Christmas when my mom used to make snickerdoodle cookies. This may become a go-to flavor in a few months when Christmas rolls around again. Cinnamon buttercream was layered in between two cakes and the rest was frosted with white buttercream and decorated with a fondant bow and curly ribbons. Take a look at my home page for more pictures. Next up is Noah's birthday cake this upcoming weekend. I'll start tomorrow with some of the decorations. i can't wait to get started.
I told my husband today that I have 4 cakes going through my head right now!! In the next few weeks I will be working on a cake for my brother-in-law's birthday, my son's birthday, my dad who wants me to experiment on him =) and a friend who wants to surprise her hubby (I'll have to let you in on that one later). Then I will start working on a wedding cake and cupcakes for a friend's wedding in October. I can't wait to share the pictures with you.

AuthorCakes by Nadia came about after taking a few cake classes at a local store. I have become addicted to coming up with new ideas for cakes and "playing with my food" We live in Florida and have 3 young children who love to help me in the kitchen when they can. Even my husband likes to help out and of course they all enjoy sampling the outcome. Archives
