So beautiful that it takes your breath away [Lace Fondant Cake]
Overview
I have been a lace lover since I was a child. Whether it is clothing or home decorations, I can't escape lace. When I discovered that there is such a wonderful thing in the world, lace fondant cake, I fell in love with it deeply at the first sight. However, because it was so exquisite, too delicate, and too noble, I didn't dare to try it or touch it. In order to give my best friend a birthday gift today, I thought about it and decided that this gift would be the best, so I started working on it. This is my first time making fondant, let alone a lace fondant cake. It is a major test for me. For sugar lace, the temperature and humidity must be just right. If it's too wet, it won't take shape at all; if it's too dry, it will dry out and crack. Every step tests me, for fear that every small detail will affect the effect of the finished product. The small lace fondant cake is so beautiful that it takes your breath away.
