The cross section of this cake is lovely. We made the cake on a sheet pan, spread pistachio cream on the cake and rolled it like a swiss roll. We then stood the cake on its cross section and covered it in rolled fondant.

Fondant
Not only did we cover our cake in rolled fondant, we made the fondant from scratch. The one big take-away from the pastry program so far is that I am not only able to make the pastries but I am also able to make most of the components that make up the desserts. A 1 lb bag of ready made fondant is $10/pack but it probably costs $3-$4 to make it yourself.

This was delicious. I loved the fondant. Perhaps too much based on today's weight scale reading.
