Mademoiselle Galaxy

I started by making four 9" rounds of chocolate cake, I then stacked those and covered them in a buttercream frosting. I covered that with a ganache. the "Stars" are made out of fondant and then rolled in sugar. I made the planets out of rice krispy treats and then covered them in fondant and dipped them in melted frosting to get a smooth shiny look. Mademoiselle Galaxy's body is made out of rice krispy treats also, then covered in melted frosting and fondant. Her arms and hands are made out of fondant. I covered her body and her arms in piped chocolate dots to form her shirt. Her head is also formed out of fondant and she has ganache hair. I used some toothpicks to hold it all together, but other then that it was all edible.

This was only my second or third time working with fondant... and I was having trouble with it cracking. I made a marshmallow fondant, and it just wasn't working how I had hoped.

I had some problems along the way, but I am happy with my cake... and it tasted delicious! (That makes it all worth while!)
