My first fondant layered cake at home: a lemon layered cake with cream cheese frosting, homemade marshmallow fondant that looks like a big lemon!
Admittedly, I was rushing the process a bit towards the end. It's soooo delicious, but next time I would roll the fondant out a bit thinner (my arms were BURNING!) and cut a lil less off so I could tuck most of it under the cake to look more seamless, and overall be more patient with the process. This was two 9inch-rounds, cut in half to make 4 layers, and next time I'd also throw in some lemon curd, and maybe add some lemony flavoring to the marshmallow fondant I made. I would LOVE to eventually make a realistic lemon but I'm clearly very beginner for now lol!!
If anyone has any suggestions I am open to them all!! I'm pretty new to making cakes/decorating and I want to learn to do this for my future kiddos, parties, etc.
