Coolest Easter Egg Cake 13

Homemade Easter Egg Cake
For this Easter Egg Cake, I used my regular chocolate cake recipe (from Baker's Chocolate) that is normally for two 8" round cakes and baked it in Wilton's 3-D Egg Pan. Then, I prepared buttercream icing. I used the recipe on the Wilton website (I only used butter and no vegetable shortening). I also made rolled marshmallow fondant with the recipe found on the Wilton website.
Once my cake was baked and cooled, I put both parts of the egg together and iced it with the buttercream. Then, I let it sit in the refrigerator while I coloured my fondant so that the icing would be hard. To colour my fondant, I used Wilton's icing colour. I used "Lemon Yellow", "Violet" and "Rose". Once, my yellow fondant was ready, I rolled it out and transferred it to the cake. I cut out the extras and smoothed it out. Then, I put it back in the refrigerator while I got my other colours ready. After, I used Wilton's daisy fondant cut-outs to make my shapes with the fondant. Using a little bit of water, I stuck them on the cake. With the left-overs of fondant I made the little "eggs" at the bottom.
Overall, this took my about 5 hours including baking the cake and everyone was very impressed with this cake.
