Q. Fondant Cake -Sweet 16

My neices sweet 16 is around the corner - I stuck my mouth in it and said I would get the cake.

I have a price already , from my cake lady but it seems high She is worth every penny but .. I am not thinking I want to spend that right now as the cash flow is a problem right now.

Can any of you reccomend any local bakery's or free lance people that would do a fondant cake for less than $500 that will serve 100-150 guests.

TIA

I don't know about Fondant but I got a gnache cake (think that is how you spell it), looks like Fondant but its made with white chocolate. Tastes amazing as well.
It was 1/2 the price of fondant.
ANother option is getting a cake if its layered with fake layers, and having a sheet cake around the back.

LOL.. I am taking a course in Fondant cakes in may!
But I have never worked with it before. I remember seeing someone on the 08 board post pics from an album of their creations that they do on the side. For the life of me I can not remember who.

Sorry!

Hey Jennifer,

Create a cake did my cake for the wedding. just be VERY specific about it. Supply your own ribbon (which is what I did) and I supplied the cake topper.

Email me.

Check out my lady's cake toppers!
I think the single pink peony would be BEAUTIFUL with a simple ivory fondant cake.

You can get matching grosgrain pink ribbon to go around the layers. perfect!

You do nice work

Thanks. The second picture was one of the first cakes we ever did for a bridal shower. It was a copy from a book that I happen to have liked. The first pic is the cake I made for my SIL's baby shower. I did the wording last minute so it looks wonky lol If you add me on FB you may see some of the other cakes I did. I think I updated them on there.
