First fondant cake attempt!

For an advertisement project, some classmates and I were grouped together as a team. There were 3 different roles; Photographer, art director, and client. I was the photographer for this weeks project. My client, Albert, decided he wanted a cake advertisement for a bakery he was opening (hypothetically speaking). He was pretty open about the shot as far as creativity, but was leaning towards more of a gourmet cake. I went to 4 different places to find a nice cake, and wasn't happy with anything! I was finally standing in line at Albertsons with an 'okay' cake I had decided on, and last minute decided, "nope, I don't want my client to have an 'okay' crappy cake shot". There was nothing gourmet about any of the cakes i came accross. Very basic and boring. I made the decision to make my own fancy cake. I knew that fondant cakes look amazing with a successful execution, so I went to Michaels, bought everything I needed, and went home for my first attempt with making a fondant cake! I can't complain about the results for it being my first time. I'm actually pretty impressed. =) So this was the final outcome of my handmade cake product shot!
