Taste of Cake

This is the first cake I ever made with fondant. I have been making cakes since high school but was always a little reluctant to use fondant. My sister-in-law Debbie bought me a beautiful decorating book for Christmas. I looked at the pictures and thought there is no way I can do that. About a year and half later after studying the directions I attempted this jungle scene for Debbie's 23rd birthday. Ever since then I've used fondant on nearly every cake I've made.
