New Year fondant cake---a New Year gift made with care

Overview

The New Year is getting closer. I remember when I was a child, I especially loved the Chinese New Year, because not only could I have new clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year, but I could also eat lots of candies and delicacies~~~ As I grew up, I didn’t look forward to the Chinese New Year as much as I did when I was a child. I could basically be satisfied with whatever I wanted to wear and eat at any time. But somehow, the New Year memories in my childhood memories still make me feel so sweet, warm and lively. I had nothing to do at home on the weekend, and suddenly I wanted to do something related to the New Year. I took out the fondant paste, my childlike innocence was strong, and I thought about making several small fondant cakes for the New Year like playing with plasticine as a child. This is a purely personal creation, unique in history! Although my artistic skills are very limited, I still feel quite cute after making it~~~ The feeling of celebrating the New Year in my childhood seems to be back with me again!
