Still I am planing to do it for my Friend but the swirls on the side is it with candy melts or butter creme icing?? actually it is not clear, sometimes Wilton do not describe in more details or confusing details they should do it as steps 1,2,3, etc
So please if anyone know how can I know the good thickens for the fondant to cover the cake sometimes it is so thick and sometimes it is so thin and it ripped off

This was the first time that I make a cake with fondant. Made this for a baby shower for a co-worker that was having a boy. For using fondant for the first time, I found it very hard to get the fondant thin enough to lay on the cake the right way. Making the fondant carriage was difficult as well, had a hard time getting the fondant thin enough. Finished product was good and the baby shower guests loved it.

This was a design that a friend of mine asked me to make for her shower and it was so cute. I used a rectangle pan and the stroller fit perfectly on it. Wilton did such a great job with the stroller pattern, it's so easy to just cut out the fondant design and put it on. This cake was easy and elegant.
