		<description>Hi! there is a recipe, is like fondant but is a dough, in spanish is better for me, i hope you found anyone who translate this
6 cucharadas de agua
1 cucharada de gelatina sin sabor ni color
1/2 taza de glucosa
2 cucharadas de glicerina
1/2 cucharadita de esencia transparente
1 kilo de azucar pulverizada

en un bowl resistente al calor colocar el agua y dejar caer en forma de lluvia la gelatina, dejar hidratar por 5 minutos, luego colocar el bowl sobre una olla con agua caliente y mover hasta disolver bien la gelatina, añadir la glucosa y la glicerina, revolver bien hasta que se disuelva todo, retirar el bowl de la olla y agregar la esencia, dejar enfriar un poco, en un bowl aparte debes pasar por colador el azucar pulverizada, apartar en otro bowl alrededor de 2 tazas, cuando ya la mezcla de la gelatina este basante tibia casi a temperatura ambiente colocala en el medio del bowl que tenga mas azucar, empieza a integrar con una espatula hasta conseguir un punto en el que puedas manejarlo con la mano e ir integrando el azucar que tienes en el bowl y poco a poco ir agrgando las otras dos tazas que apartaste hasta conseguir una masa segun el clima puede necesitar mas azucar o menos, al pellizcar la masa entre los dedos no debe sentirse pegajosa ese es el punto perfecto, envolverla en plastico o dentro de la misma bolsa del azucar sin dejar entrar aire, la cierras bien y puedes usarla al dia siguiente, no se guarda en nevera, se mantiene afuera lejos del calor y humedad, bien cerrada, para estirar debes amasar nuevamente, preparar la mesa con cornstarch o azucar pulverizada, colocar en el centro y empezar a estirar con rodillo desde el medio hacia los lados segun sea el tamaño y forma de la torta, manten siempre con azucar pulverizada la superficia de la masa y el rodillo para que no se pegue</description>

		<description>Thanks Evie for your kind words. I did this cake 2 years ago and I still have vivid memories of it. Like I said in the post, my son only remembers that I made him a Mickey Mouse cake. He thinks it was wonderful. I&#039;m glad I kept trying because I&#039;ve gotten so much better at it. It&#039;s something I really enjoy doing and would have felt the failure if I had quit. But, it&#039;s all about the moderation and only doing it if you really love it and want to, not because you feel you have to.</description>

		<description>Im the type of person that almost never does what im doing right now and that is actually writing to a stranger, but you inspired me. See, im also &quot;balancingmotherhood&quot; i have to small munchkins under the age of two, my son who this reply is dedicated to, will be turning 2 next month and i too am the mom who thought &quot;yeah, i can do that&quot; but as you said it yourself it can be deciving. i have been running all over trying to find the figurines to go on top of the cake, and after reading your story im not even going to mention the ideas i had for the fondant, because i think that mine would look the same way as your picture lol. its almost 10pm as i look at the computer and i think not only have i been at this cake thing all day but also &quot;thank you&quot; for posting what you did and/or what you tried to do. i think as moms we really do try to go above and beyond and sometimes its just plain exhausting. i think in the end im going to do what i can and not stress out to much &quot;they are only two years old&quot; and in the end it probably doesnt matter as much as i feel right now it might. :-) thank you for shining a light...</description>

		<description>Next time use powdered sugar when rolling ur fondant especially when you add food coloring. The more food coloring the more sugar.  Or you can roll it out and put it white on top of your cake any michaels will carry color mist its spray food coloring in a can.  Dont give up on fondant its really rewarding once you get the hang of it!</description>

		<description>Thanks! Trying to figure out a (reasonable) way to make a Minnie or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake for my four year old. I LOVE the MIckey Mouse heads on the side of the cake. I have the toys for the top and think my daughter&#039;s cake may end up a lot like yours, except a lot more pink. :)</description>
