The quilted cake is actually Satin ice. It really tastes pretty good (for fondant). I wish I could say they were something exotic, but no, sour cream white for both. Yummy but, not too exciting. Panini, thanks for the info! Now that I...

Panini, Everything you said is right on the money. Yes the cake is on a riser. I kept going thicker on the fondant. That is where I went wrong. The thicker I got the harder it was to work with. I couldn't believe how many...
