Its my 21st Birthday! :D

Well, as the heading says, its my 21st birthday :D

Always wanted to try decorating with Fondant but never got a chance to because I'm only always baking at home, so i decided to experiment with my first fondant cake which would be on my 21st.
I mean if something goes wrong, I only have myself to blame :D

The cake for my 21st was a 2 tier cake, with the top layer a chocolate cake with chocolate swiss meringue buttercream





    and...
   A RAINBOW  CAKE with lemon infused swiss meringue buttercream.
   kinda like how light swiss meringue is but it melts very quickly in our weather D:



     all stacked and filled...


    and crumb coated.
  
   Made Cupcakes to give to my guests are gift favours but i was so busy I forgot to give a great  
   amount of people...



    The final product, all packed.


    Final Product of the cake I made, which was layed with Red Man Fondant and Satin Ice Dark
    Chocolate Fondant. Started laying the top tier first with fondant and my heart almost sank when I
    saw the fondant tearing apart, but I managed to salvage it at the end, but bottom one was so much
    better.
    Verdict: Buy Satin Ice in futre to lay onto cake (Although its much pricier) , but it's much easier.
     Red Man's is pretty good for  
    modelling because it hardens quite easily :D



   And the interior of the rainbow cake after it was cut up!
   But a pity that the light went off right after I cut it up but i'm glad most enjoyed the cake :D
   Personally, I would prefer the chocolate cake at all times but the rainbow cake's just so visually
   enticing. Well, I may be biased because I do not really like to eat vanilla, but i love baking all sorts
   of cake, but the irony is that I do not have a sweet tooth.



     All my gifts and highlights of the party :D

1st attempt
