Craft night

At this month's craft night, we made cakes and earrings. I didn't make any earrings because I already knew how to make those, but I did get "our teacher" to show me how to make better bracelets, so I made Kaylee a bracelet.

I made cupcakes, following this guideline.

My favorite accomplishment though is that I made a fondant cake. I've never attempted anything like that before, and I was so pleased with how it turned out. I read lots of tutorials before I attempted it and watched one video. Here is the recipe I used:

It's too pretty to cut, but I do wonder how it tastes. I did taste the fondant before I put it on the cake and it tastes good, but I ran out of buttercream icing as I was coating the under layer and a friend let me use the rest of her cream cheese icing. I'm not sure how the cream cheese icing and buttercream icing will taste together, but sugar is sugar, right?
