Wilton Course III: Class 2

My very first fondant cake! I was excited about working with fondant, and it turned out to be really easy once I got the hang of it. Kneading it may give me carpal tunnel, but I was beyond pleased with the final product. All said and done, the decorating ended up taking me close to 2.5 hours to complete, but a lot of that was instruction time in learning how to knead the fondant, roll it out, cut it, etc. I think I might be addicted to fondant now - making the decorations was so much fun!

Next class - doing a rose in fondant and learning some additional flowers with royal icing. And then the finale - a two-tier cake!

  15. So cool! How’d you get the corkscrews of fondant?

    Comment by Caitlin
  16. Thanks Caitlin! For the fondant corkscrews, I cut thin slices of fondant and wrapped them around dowel rods (kind of like how you wrap hair around a curling iron), then slid them off, pulled them however tight or loose I wanted, and then let dry. I had SO much fun with this cake!
