This poker cake was an absolute blast to do! A first for so many things -
First time using edible marker on fondant - loved it! Great tool to do small jobs that require fine details. I wish I could have displayed the cards more as the detailing turned out awesome.
First time using chocolate ganache under fondant instead of buttercream - great technique as the finish was smooth and the application was easier than buttercream. However, I am wondering about the taste. It may have been too sweet.
I am struggling with the letter cutters. They seem boring and the fondant is REALLY hard to get out of the cutter. I need to find a better way to use letters on my masterpieces. May be time to go back to my roots and do everything by hand.
Cake details:
- Cake was classic white.
- Filling was milk chocolate ganache.
- Crumb coated with dark chocolate ganache.
- Covered in marshmallow fondant.
- All embellishments were marshmallow fondant.
The entire cake was handmade from scratch, including fondant, and completely edible.
