And the icing is homemade cream cheese using this Martha Stewart Cream Cheese recipe since I like my frosting more cheesy-tasting, which helps cut the sweetness of the fondant. However this time I used a margarine type spread which consisted of part vegetable oil, instead of butter. I made the marshmallow fondant using the Wilton Recipe, as usual. The top tier was actually baked in a small glass bowl that was dishwasher and microwave safe. I used cake pans I already had and tried get them the right shape and size while baking so there was minimal cutting and sculpting. I have never done anything like this before and wasn’t even sure if I could do it, so if you’re also a newbie at this, do not fear! You can do it!!

I reluctantly said yes when I was asked to take on an Army Tank cake! It actually wasn’t that difficult. My nephew just turned eight recently! I made a fondant Mickey Mouse birthday cake for my daughter’s 2nd birthday, but other than that I have never really stacked a cake before! Especially not one decorated with fondant!
