have you ever tasted it? i wouldn't strongly recommend you make a homemade frosting and avoid the fondant. it's great for cake decorating, but when it comes to actually frosting a cake, it is not the best choice if you're looking for something flavorful and edible.
If fondant is shitty tasting, is there something similar that gives a cake a nice look?

I found a football helmet shaped cake pan. I was thinking of getting that and then making a replica of a Philadelphia Eagles helmet since that's his favorite team.
Is fondant the same as modeling chocolate that Buddy always talks about?
Actual mexican food is so different from stuff typically found here in the US. Most stuff here is Tex-Mex.
Stuffed baked chicken with cabbage apple salad and fried squash.
The chicken is stuffed with basil garlic goat cheese and rubbed with olive oil, parsley and garlic. The salad is red cabbage, organic gala apple, balsamic vinegar and local Winter Park honey. Squash is breaded in cornmeal with salt & pepper.

I referenced 3 or 4 recipes online but didn't follow any of them. So I'm particularly proud of myself.
What you're looking at is a corn tortilla on the bottom, with a black bean puree spread on it. That is topped with oven fried mahi mahi bites, shredded savoy cabbage, chopped Roma tomatoes, and sour cream.
I took fresh mahi mahi fillets (no skins), cut them into chunks, and dipped them in egg, then seasoned flour (cayenne, paprika, garlic salt, pepper, cumin), then back in egg, then in panko bread crumbs. I laid them out on a cookie sheet and baked them for 25mins at 375 degrees.
For the black bean puree (just think refried beans, made fresh), I had 2 cans of black beans, rinsed and drained. I put them in the food processer and added 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion, 1 finely chopped jalapeno pepper, and fresh lime juice (roughly half a lime). I blended a little, added a drizzle or two of olive oil, and continued to blend until they were the consistency of refried beans.

as for the fish drying out, it looks like the oil you used wasn't hot enough and probably ended up being over dropped. mahi mahi looks cooked ok from the outside, but you want the inside to be opaque and still be moist. you want hottest possible oil to get a nice browning on the crust, but at the same time cook the fish enough without drying it out.
