Thank you so much! I am not a great baker but want to make the cake for my babie’s (my youngest daughter’s and soldier) first baby’s shower. Her favorite cake is spice and i have never used fondant. Thanks to your recipe i can make the traditional cream cheese flavored fondant. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Maybe a pic too. :-p

Thanks for this! I only like working with marshmallow fondant, but my daughter wants a carrot cake for her birthday, and I was afraid the two flavors wouldn’t work together. Now, I feel I can go forward with the project!

I just tried this fondant for my first time using fondant, ever! It worked great. I found that leaving it overnight in the fridge and then slightly microwaving it back to room temp worked better than just using this stuff right after it was mixed. But it looked great, tasted wonderful and I got lots of compliments on it. Thanks for the recipe!

You’re a life saver I was wondering if this could be done! Looking forward to trying it out

Suzy… I’m glad to see another LOST fan on here! As for the fondant template, I made a quick one by printing out a Dharma logo on my home printer the same size as the cake, then I just used a razor blade to cut the fondant the same size as the printed template pieces. It took quite awhile, but I was happy with the results.
There are more pictures of the process on my other blog, http://blog.ernstrom.net/?p=408, if it would help.
Let me know how it turns out! I think I may try making “fish biscuits” this Sunday!

Hi! I’m planning on making a dharma cake for the series finale of Lost this Sunday. I’m wondering if you had a template you used to cut out the fondant or if you did it free hand? Looks great! I think I’m going to try and replicate it!

i’m so glad someone else has tried this out… i’ve been working on recreating a friend’s grandmother’s big red cake recipe; it’s a very moist cake that is supposed to be two layers with a whipped cream/vanilla pudding filling and cream cheese icing, but i’m nervous about putting it all together — i’m hoping if i can do a cream cheese fondant, it’ll hold together.

The recipe makes enough to cover a single layer 9″ round. Let me know how it works for you!

Thanks for the tips! I have developed many mixed feelings about Wilton Fondant. I love the look, hate the taste. I am anxious to try the recipe you included for a Red Velvet cake I am making this week. I wasn’t sure how fondant would taste next too cream cheese icing, but with your suggestion, things should be great!
