If you're considering making a group of small cakes for your wedding or shower this one's a 'peach!' Pretty as can be and the perfect size for a buffet of smaller cakes. 

Definitely doable for the DIYer who doesn't want to deal with the multiple layers a traditional wedding cake has!  Frosting this one is a 'piece of cake' with no complex decorating! My kind of cake! Perfect for anyone getting married in peach season!

Smoothing the Icing on Your Wedding Cake

If you're using buttercream icing and want it to look like fondant, wait until the buttercream frosting gets a 'crust' on it, then just take a plain white paper towel (like Viva or Bounty), lay the inside that was closest to the roll on top of the cake, and smooth it with your hand or fondant smoother.  Then do the same with the sides.  Voila! Perfect, smooth icing on your wedding cake, ready to be decorated!  Thank you Debbie for the info!
