Wow! A year?! Its crazy how much one person can learn in one year. Last May when I started Fondant Flinger, I had fairly low expectations. It was just going to be a hobby; something to do in my spare time when I got bored. I had no idea the amount of support I would […]

I remember first seeing fondant work on the various cake decorating television shows and thinking “I can do that!” I bought a pack of fondant from the local Walmart and dove into the world of sugar shaping with the creation of my son’s 2nd birthday cake.
