This is my first fondant cake, so it will always be my favorite. We have a wonderfully close-knit group of friends near where we live, and last year my husband and I hosted a Christmas party for them at our home. It was a potluck and since the ladies (hmm yeah, some boys too) in the gang are good cooks, we didn't have much to do before the party except planning some games and wrapping gifts, so I decided to try my luck with the Christmas cake.
