My boyfriends family has like a family day party on christmas & theres always tons of people. So this year, I thought it'd be a great idea to make a cake for it. I want to make a tiered cake that looks like a present. I want to use fondant on it. Does anyone know of any websites on how to make one? Or does anyone know how? I just want to know how to decorate it & stuff like that. Thanks!

I think it would look great if you made several cakes of different sizes. 1 or 2 using a loaf pan. 1 or 2 using a small square pan, almost like the brownie pan that is divided.
I would not use fondant, never did find one that tastes good. Use a variety of frosting's and then make ribbons and bows with your fondant.
I saw a great decorating tip on a show, a baker decorated with a butter cream frosting but once the frosting was smooth she used a very fine woven cloth and patted the frosting. It looked like it was covered with a fondant, the look was soft and smooth. The colors were beautiful just like the look you get with fondant.
If you really want to use fondant check out a full line craft store like Michael's they carry fondant I think there are two makes they now have one by Wilton and the other is by Duff from the Ace of Cakes.
Anyway the idea of several smaller cakes I think you could make a display that would look like a bundle of Christmas gifts. You could even put names on tags on the cakes.
