This cake was an idea that accumulated over the year. The majority after my husband gave me an early christmas gift. The book Sugar Baby. The cake is the almond cake from the book. Then I used a small layer of fudge.... yes fudge.... as the filling.
Frosted with a light layer of chocolate frosting before covering with marshmellow fondant.
Than I started to make "cotton candy" aka "candy floss" aka "fairy floss" (the last is what I think I will call it )
The picture in the book looks so innocent and easy to make.
Apperently not the first try!
The first few went good. But the sugar started to harden on me. So I thought, I'll heat it back up and make it melty again and continue on.
Nope. That was when good sugar went bad.
But, the few first swipes that went right were perfect for my cake, and what I didn't use tastes divine. So I will be practicing this one until I get it right!
Update.... The cake turned out very well! That combo was delicious, although probably a splurge that should only happen once a year! ;-)
I don't know why this photo is upside down.
