I am friends with fondant!! This week we made a high-ratio yellow cake with a simple buttercream covered in fondant. We then each made colored band and flowers with a 50/50 mix of fondant and gum paste. I started making Briar roses and very quickly became frustrated. I then switched to Hydrangeas. Out of all of our choices, those were the easiest because it was the only option using a stamp. However, because of their size, I had to make quite a few to have an impact on a two tier cake. I also made a lot of black fondant/gum paste mix for my dummy cake. For that cake I have taken on the additional challenge of painting on fondant and making Peonies. It will be quite a challenge.
