American Girl Cake

Fondant covered American Girl cake
October 2011:  My daughter was obsessed with American Girl dolls this year (her 8th birthday) so instead of trying to create teeny tiny dolls out of fondant (which is what she originally wanted), I decided to try making my first fondant covered cake.

Here’s the cake surrounded by actual American Girl gift boxes. I also decided to make a few fun cupcakes, as I had just taken a wonderful class called Flowers & Frills at Baking Arts
