Dandy Lions cake by Carli Clark

Description

So I chose Dandy Lions, I just thought they were so cute :-) My little lions were made of fondant...took a lot longer than I thought it would originally, but they were so much fun.
Then, I got to try an experimental recipe, Rootbeer cake. I even made my own extract by cooking down root beer to syrup! I filled the cake with chocolate fudge icing and then carved and coated the cake in rootbeer buttercream. I finished it late at night, so I only had the hubby to taste my cake (besides, our toddler will eat *anything* if you tell her it is cake), and we both ended up eating two pieces of cake at about midnight. It was sooooo goood!
Thanks for the opportunity to play with fondant and try something new!
