This was my first time using fondant and this was FUN!! The only things I did differently were I used cornstarch for rolling it out - the powdered sugar made it stick to the counter. Also, I microwaved for 10 seconds when I took it out and was ready to use it. And I covered the ball of fondant in crisco right out of the microwave when I started using it, to get it soft and slippery. The recipe itself is FIVE stars, but I like my revised directions better! =P And I had no tearing with the Crisco!

The cake was delicious! I made it several times. I used apple cider vinegar instead because that was all I had on hand. The frosting, on the other hand, was gross. Maybe it was because I used butter-flavored shortening. I used cream cheese icing the second time aorund.

YUM! Perfect! I baked this in a 9x13 and baked the crust for 2 minutes longer, the filling for 10 minutes longer. I can't stress enough how delicious this was!
