Homemade Garden Tools Cake

This Garden Tools Cake was for my Mother-in-Law's birthday. It was my first fondant cake I've ever made (my daughter helped with the decorations). I made my own marshmallow fondant myself. I really like the taste of the fondant, but had some issues covering the cake.

Being a newbie, I'm not sure if I used too much icing on the cake before applying the fondant or it was the way I made the fondant. Gotta say it was a learning experience and I'm looking forward to my next one! The flower pot was a muffin covered in fondant. The gloves and shovel were both fondant. The flowers, grass and accents were all buttercream.
