Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Fashion-Inspired Fondant »

Instructions

Took inspiration from Joshua's class in imaging fondant was fabric, so overlaps and stitching detail.

Difficulty:

Category: Food & Cooking

Type of item: Food

For: Other

Style: Romantic, Whimsical


Materials

Lots of fondant and lots of patience! Roses are handcrafted out of cold porcelain to make them a little more robust for transport to a wedding fair.

What was your inspiration?

I have a wedding fair in january I am preparing for. Have 5 dummy cakes to prepare. Wanted a modern, fashion-inspired cake that would stand out from the crowd.

What are you most proud of?

That I didn't throw the fondant out of the window when trying to work out how to graduate the colours.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I think you just have to go for it and do it. I tried to prep a lot, but ended up winging a lot of the shading.

Thank you Old Creamery. I tried to work out fondant quantities using all sorts of equations before I started, but in the end most of the colour graduation was done by instinct as I went along.
