Applying Fondant to Fondant

Difficulty: Easy

Quick tip on how to attach your fondant accents to your fondant covered cake.

Baby

Difficulty: Somewhat Easy

Make your own shower topper! It's easy when you use rolled fondant. Just roll out and cut the baby with our metal gingerbread boy cutter, then attach to a lollipop stick and insert in the cake. You can also make smaller sized babies using a mini gingerbread boy cutter for a cupcake.

Baby Blocks

Difficulty: Medium

Hollow blocks, constructed of 4 gum paste squares, are a fun way to camouflage pillars between tiers—the pillars bear the weight.

Baby Bottles

Difficulty: Easy

After you’ve wrapped the hidden pillar with fondant, be sure to immediately ”shave” into hexagonal sides. The fondant must be cut when soft to create a smooth shape. After shaving, use an Easy-Glide Fondant Smoother to sharpen the corners on each side.

Carriage, Wheels and Trim

Difficulty: Medium

This carriage stands on lollipop stick legs, which are attached to the bottom with balls of fondant. After rolling the fondant balls, be sure to press them lightly against the bottom of the egg mold so that they will conform to its shape without gaps.

Cell Phone

Here´s a fondant decoration that will really connect with kids! We used Neon and Natural Fondant Multi Packs to make this simple shape—but you can create a phone in any color you like using tinted white fondant.

Cherub

Difficulty: Easy

Everyone smiles back at the sweet cherubs on your cake! Basic fondant shapes create the body; the wings are heart cut-outs, cut in half, then trimmed with feathered slits. To make 3-D cherubs, make sure you start 2 days ahead of time to allow for drying.
