This is another chocolate fruit cake I did for my nephew's 18th birthday. The Loch Ness monsters are made out of fondant.

That's cute! Love the baby nessie and the little scottish hats. The water balloon idea is brilliant. Keep the videos coming!

Great to see an oz making a mark on utube with your cake - look forward to seeing more of them... I usually use the orchard as I don't know any other brand...Post any recommendations of fondant you use thnx for sharing.

Thank you! You should also check out dantwaz and mackandnorm. Andrea (mackandnorm) has some beautiful, beautiful cakes using fondant. I mainly tend to use butter cream.

Thanks for your comments! Yes the marshmallow fondant ended up being expensive because I had to buy quite a few bags of MM's and pick out all the white ones!!

I like the lochness! I've used Orchard once and didn't find a problem with it. But mostly I've used Bakels pettinice icing which is the same as fondant (I haven't done that many cakes yet though). I haven't tried MM fondant yet- I haven't been able to find packets of plain white marshmallows! But I've bought Bakels in bulk (7kg), and I think it's probably more cost effective for me that way.
