Fondant Fairy

When I first started doing some catering a few years back the one thing I swore I didn’t do was cakes in fact “I don’t do cakes” were my exact words. Please feel free to use these words against me when reading the following few posts. All I ever seem to do for people these days are cakes.

As my orders for cakes increase so too does my interest in different styles of decorating. I haven’t experimented much with fondant in the past, mostly due to the fact I don’t particularly like the icing, but recently I have become interested in using fondant for decorations that can be placed on top of beautiful frostings or ganaches. This style of decorating can be quite cute.

I thought I would attempt some of these decorations for a fairy cup cake tower I am making for a 6 year olds birthday………              

           

Need more practice!!!!!!!!!!!

Any how I did promise to keep you informed of my successes and my failures so here is my first attempt at a fondant fairy. She’s a little fat up top, a little skinny in the legs and she doesn't appear to have a neck but I am happy with her little wings and the skin tone I managed to get using just the yellow and pink natural food colours.

Oh well back to the old drawing board. I will continue to practice and if i do manage to get any better at it I'll be sure to share the results.
