I have been playing with fondant! It's fun fun fun! It starts with (RTR) ready to roll sugar paste, then you proceed to knead the dough with corn flour/icing sugar until it is nice and smooth, then you colour-roll-shape-cover or pipe!
My friend calls it "play dough for adults"... I suppose she is quite right. Its relaxing yet stressful all at the same time... It's my new hobby and future business!
I started by covering a cake... February-Valentines Day! so yeah... love heart themed!
Then I started trying to mould fondant which is even more fun!! This is my first attempt, its a birdie... a blue bird? I tried to get some inspiration from wilton, their website is unreal and extremely helpful!!
Now, I went to work telling everyone how excited I was about my new discovery (fondant that is) and one of the guys at work asked me where to buy a Bumble Bee Cake- Note: A Transformers Cake... I thought?? mmm can I pull it off?! I have no problem with the baking (the actual cake is a doddle to make) the decoration is the hard bit.... so I said I will do it... and he agreed yes!!!!!!! I sold my first cake... With a lot of thought and help from husband James I ended up with a very good looking cake for 7 year old Jeremy!
