As promised, I switched gears and made something other than cake and didn't work with fondant. This time I made what I call fruit cups. These are little cups of pie crust with melted chocolate that hardens, vanilla pudding, and fruit to top it off. First I began with the pie crust that I just purchased from the refrigerator section. I rolled it out until I thought it was thin enough. Then I used a cup to cut the crust into little circles. I used a cupcake pan to put the crust and cook it in the oven and shape them into cups. I had to watch them in the oven very carefully because they can burn easily which I didn't want. I repeated this about 3 times until all the crust was used. Now that the crust was done it was time for the chocolate. I melted the chocolate in the pan then poured some into the crust cups and waited until the chocolated hardened. Once that was done I made the instant vanilla pudding, which went next into the cup. Lastly, I toped it off with fruit such as strawberries, blue berries, and kiwi. This dessert is great for parties and is very delicious, especially for fruit lovers! It was nice baking something other than a cake because sometimes people want something other than a cake to eat at parties. I will continue to make other desserts but I do want to work on my fondant skills some more. My next goal is to not use frosting on the cake, but cover it with fondant instead and not rip or tear it.
