. . . which is fine if you know what you&#8217;re doing, but I didn&#8217;t! \u00a0It was a <em>Wilton Cookie Decorating with Fondant <\/em>class. \u00a0Let&#8217;s <strong>remember<\/strong> that I hate fondant. \u00a0This is a hate that developed due to it&#8217;s nasty taste (and my love affair with <strong>buttercream<\/strong> . . . pick your poison), so I was extra excited to come to the
