our first Blue and Gold Banquet ever

My first attempt at a Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet Cake. 

Brock wanted it blue and gold checker board so that is why the cakes look like bullseyes. 

I have never used Buttercream before so this was kind of fun. 

I did a quick dirty ice job so I could move on to yet another first....

FONDANT!

 I was scared to use it because Buddy from The Cake Boss makes it look so easy and I wasn't sure it was going to be.  Honestly, it wasn't that bad!  I am looking forward to trying it again.  I enjoyed being creative.  I really do not like the taste of fondant at all, but it is fun to work with!

Please don't judge me for the bumps and wrinkels, I realized too late that I needed some kind of smoother.  I will have one for the next fondant project.

I think for the most part it turned out quite cute
