Lemon?!

My next cake was for a friend. A couple of friends encouraged my new hobby by buying me a fondant/gum paste kit. Another birthday, another attempt at fondant and this time I even tried to use gum paste too. I switched from a buttercream fondant to a marshmallow fondant. This was much better and easier to work with. I told my friend she could pick whatever flavor she wanted for her cake. After all, it was HER birthday. When she told me she wanted lemon cake with lemon icing I responded with, "Lemon?!".
I guess I figured everyone would want a chocolate cake and later learned that lemon is a really awesome flavor. :) I used a lemon cake, lemon icing and even made a lemon curd filling. Delicous!
