You're right, though, we didn't eat the fondant. IIRC the filling was Blackberry and there were several delicious and moist layers. I hate cake, too, btw. (I had cupcakes at my wedding.)

It's a CAKE. For a CELEBRATION. It's PRETTY. It's SWEEEEEEEEEEEET. It's FUN! Sheesh, lighten up. The only thing that would be cooler than getting one of these cakes made for me would be a matching set of Katamari cupcakes (roughly spherical and covered with diverse sorts of crap molded out of fondant) to hand out as favors/post-dessert desserts. :) Dear Sweet Hopping Spaghetti Monster, people.

Butter cream, royal icing, or cream cheese icing, but Fondant? It has nothing to do with good pastry and everything to do with crap that only looks good. A good pastery chief knows how to use this stuff, but it's always for effect, not taste. Rob, do you really like fondant? YUK! Butter cream, royal icing, or cream cheese icing, but Fondant?

I've never found these cakes any good for anything but looking at.
