O Christmas Tree!

So I started decorating a little early!  I decorated this cake at the end of a 4 session fondant class.  The cake was covered in a thin layer of buttercream frosting, and topped with rolled fondant.  I REALLY enjoy working with fondant because it's fun to add all sorts of embellishments that may not be possible by using buttercream alone.  The trees have a texture added by using a texture mat, and then they were cut out from colored fondant with a Christmas tree cutter.  The green color on the top of the cake comes from a spray can of edible coloring, it was super neat to use! I'm already planning all sorts of things to do with the fun tools and techniques I have learned about!
