Nailed it!

When your kid loves cooking shows, you jump on board. I don't mind most of them. We actually enjoy watching them together. So she decided that this year I should make my own birthday cake because we saw a really cool cake on Nail'd It and she thought we could do it. Things I learned....
1. Marshmallow fondant is surprisingly cheap and easy to make.
2. I am a motivated learner, but not a cake decorator.
3. I don't mind saying NO to my kid, but when it involves fun stuff like baking I say yes more.
4. I have the ability to laugh at myself.
The following is a picture of their cake verses ours. Feel free to also have a laugh. It is shockingly not too bad. I can already hear the judges saying how dry it is, how we needed thicker layers of buttercream between the layers, and how the fondant wasn't rolled properly. HOWEVER, it is ours. We did it. We enjoyed it. And, yes, we will do it again. Probably for her birthday and after we have had more practice...
