Kung Fu panda cake teaser 3
A very late night yesterday!The good news is that the panda is drying better than expected ( for fondant) and I think I’ll be able to put it on the cake and for it to stay the way it should! The bad news is …it is extremely hot! It’s almost 100 F and no matter…

Still working on the Kung Fu panda cake .I wish I had the time to start a couple of days ago! The fondant is taking a long time to dry up, I didn’t have the time to make gum paste ( I always make from scratch), so now I’m stressing out if it will hold…
