Cakes!

I am more of a pie fan than a cake fan, but when I saw the following picture today, I thought maybe I had made the wrong choice.  I mean, look at how lovely this cake is!

Apparently, the delicate layering is done with fondant!  I'm guessing you roll out two- or three-inch strips and somehow thin one edge of each strip.  I'm gonna figure out how to do it and let you know.  Or you can watch some online videos for about forty bucks: Fondant Frills with Maggie Austin.
