Fondant Quilling Cake

I take up new hobbies like ugly on a stick. I also misuse a lot of idioms. I would have been an excellent candidate for a Jane Austen novel (is she accepting applications?) because I could easily spend my life learning one useless "skill" after another. Playing the piano for no one in particular, painting for no one in particular, singing for no one in particular, quilling...I wonder why paper quilling is never depicted in the Jane Austen films since it was an excellent waste of time in the 18th century.
ANYWAY
I've been wanting an excuse to do a fondant quilled cake and the family get-together this weekend was the perfect excuse. Now I just need a bride to let me go ape on an entire wedding cake. Any takers?

  2. Just the other week I was spotlighting someone and she wrote quilling as a hobby. In my ignorance, I assumed she meant quilting. Now quilling using fondant...mind blowing/where have I been!

  5. just a thought but you should advertise for the art departments at colleges, and english departments... I bet quilling could mimic some artsy image for an art meeting, or jane austen club somewhere. very pretty.
