This is the first cake that I ever decorated using rolled fondant. I made it after the Phillies clinched a spot in the playoffs, but we could all REALLY use this cake tomorrow night for game 6 of the World Series. GO PHILS.
It's a chocolate cake with buttercream filling. The "P" is made out of gum paste, but everything else is rolled fondant. I made the fondant myself from a recipe on foodnetwork.com, but I added a little something to try to make it taste better, and it worked out pretty well.
Little tidbit about this cake... when I was cutting the P out of gum paste, I managed to cut through the several layers of parchment paper that was underneath it into the rolling mat thats been around way longer than I've been alive. So my mom's rolling mat is now a proud supporter of the Philadelphia Phillies for life.
