Michael asks…

Decorating a cake with fondant…?

I’m thinking about making a cake…Layering it with fondant and decorating it, probably with flowers or designs or something. I was wondering who has tips….
Preferably about the best type of fondant (I don’t have the resources for buying expensive kind. Can you make the marshmallow fondant and still get nice-looking results?
For a beginner, are there anything bits of information partial to trying this out?
And…what does it taste like? Haha. Good? As good as normal icing?
Also–how do you pronounce fondant?

Quite a random question, but thanks to those who answer. :)

answers:

Do NOT buy the Wilton brand fondant. Not good. At all. I make cakes for a hobby. A great site to visit is http://cakecentral.com . Check out the recipes section, best way is to search for something specific. There are also galleries of cakes decorated by the members to help get ideas. I make my own fondant (pronounced fon-dent), recipe from cakecentral.

ROLLED FONDANT

Ingredients

1 Tbsp (1 envelope) unflavoured gelatin
1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water
1 tsp lemon, almond or orange extract
1/2 c (6 oz or 168 g) light corn syrup
1 Tbsp glycerin (optional)
up to 2 lbs (908 g) 10X confectioner’s sugar
1/2 tsp white vegetable shortening

1. Sprinkle the gelatin over cold water in a small bowl. Let it stand for two minutes to soften. Place it over a pan of simmering water until the gelatin dissolves, or use the microwave for 30 seconds on HIGH. Do not overheat. Add the flavouring.

2. Add corn syrup and glycerin (optional) and stir until mixture is smooth and clear. Gently reheat if necessary, or microwave for an additional 15 to 20 seconds on HIGH. Stir again.

3. Sift 1 1/2 pounds (680 g) of the sugar into a large bowl. Make a well in the sugar and pour the liquid mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon. The mixture will become sticky.

4. Sift some of the remaining 1/2 pound (225 g) of sugar onto a smooth work surface and add as much of the remaining sugar as the mixture will take. Knead the fondant, adding a little more sugar, if necessary, to form a smooth, pliable mass. The fondant should be firm and soft. Rub the vegetable shortening on your palms and knead it into the fondant. This relieves the stickiness of the fondant.

5. Wrap the fondant in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator until ready to use. Rolled fondant woks best if allowed to rest for 24 hours.

Note: If covered well, this rolled fondant dough can be refrigerated for 1 month or frozen for up to 3 months. I do, however, recommend Pettinice RTR Icing (commercial rolled fondant). It doesn’t taste quite as good as homemade; however, it has more stretch. Since it’s extremely flexible, you can do more with it. This product can last for up to 6 months without refrigeration.

Storage: Double wrap the rolled fondant in plastic wrap and then store it in a zippered plastic bag. It will keep in the refrigerator for 30 days on in the freezer for up to 3 months.
—————————————–

As for tips. Don’t over work your fondant because it will dry out. You want your fondant to be very pliable, if it gets too dry you will have cracks on your cake. Other than that, just have fun with it. People make it sound a lot harder than it is. Make sure you have a nice big, smooth rolling pin so you don’t get lines on your fondant as well. Fondant tastes fine. It’s basically sugar paste and if you put the right flavorings in, people will like it. I personally prefer whipped cream frosting, but fondant just looks so much prettier. If you have a local cake store, check them out. They will have anything imaginable you would need for working with fondant. I have a great local store, they are so wonderful they give me advise and tips and I’ve learned a lot from them alone.

Good luck! And if you have any more questions feel free to contact me.

Richard asks…

A few questions about fondant?

My mom and i are competeing in a cake decorating contest at church. she is choosing to just simply frost hers and use fresh fruit. I would like to go more formal and do a cool design with fondant. I have never used it before, but seen it used. Here are my questions:
1.What do you put under it, just a thin layer of canned frosting?
2.Can you put a thick layer underneath so if peeled off, it tastes good?
3.How do you color it, and with gel color?
4.How much do i need to make a 9inch double layer cake?
5.How thick do i roll it?
6.Can you make it flavored?
AND ANY MORE FONDANT TIPS YOU HAVE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. ALSO IF YOU HAVE ANY COOL , YET SIMPLE ENOUGH FOR A BEGINNER, CAKE DECORATING IDEAS THAT WOULD HELP ME WIN, ILL TAKE THOSE TOO!! thanks!!

answers:

1. If I were you I would skip the canned frosting because it is sticky and hard to work with. Buttercream would probably be your best bet especially if you end up having to peel it off to restart.

2.Putting a thick layer is only going to make things more difficult for you. You shouldn’t really need to peel it off for it to taste good.

3. Coloring it with gel color would be the best idea. Just put a little gel onto the fondant you’re going to use and knead it in until the color is even. WEAR GLOVES!!! Unless of course you really want to color your hands too. If the color doesn’t come out as dark as you want it, let it sit for a little while before adding more color because it does tend to darken. Make sure to cover it well when you let it sit out because it will dry. Depending on what color you want and what fondant you are using you might also be able to buy it already colored.

4. I’m not honestly sure how much it would take to cover your cake but if you are buying the fondant the packaging should help you out there. I would say to get a little more than that though if you want to experiment with coloring and flavoring.

5. I would say about 1/8 of an inch thick should be good. Use cornstarch (just a little bit) when you’re rolling it out if it gets sticky. Like you would you would use flour while rolling out cookie dough.

6. Depending on the type on fondant you are using you should be able to flavor it. Some will taste better than others with flavoring. Use a good quality liquid flavoring if you can. It will come out better than the strawberry extract you buy from the grocery store. If you have a cake specialty store near you they might have some good stuff or even craft stores like Michaels, Joanns or A.C. Moore.

You might get some good tips from www.wilton.com. If you have any other questions you can email me if you’d like. I have been decorating cakes for a long time and my sister does it for a living. She and I have done several competitions also. Hope this helps you and good luck!

Sharon asks…

Do you know an easy cake recipe firm enough to be covered in fondant- yet easy enough for a beginner?

Hello,
I have taken an interest in cake decorating and would like to teach my self by reading up and asking for advice. I would rather not take classes.

I am looking for a recipe for a cake that is firm enough to cope with being completely covered in rolled fondant icing that tastes reasonably nice and isnt too hard for me as a beginner.

I will start with just one cake but my ultimate goal at the minute is something like this:

http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs23/f/2009/248/0/4/Strawberry_wedding_cake_by_see_through_silence.jpg

I hope to teach myself to do this in about 6 months.

Also please suggest how you think the chocolate drips were done because i dont know how it could set that quick if it was real chocolate or look that glossy if it was icing? I asked in wedding section but it wasnt resolved.

Thank you in advance!

answers:

I have given this recipe out many times so I thought that I would put it on here for easy reference. I use this recipe all the time, it bakes up nice and firm but is still moist and fluffy. It is perfect for 2- 8″cakes and 1- 10″ cake.

Firm Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
1 Devils Food Cake Mix (I use whatever kind of choc. Cake I have on hand)
1 (4 serving size) instant choc pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cooking oil
1/2 cup water
4 eggs
1 1/2 semi-sweet choc chips (I never add the choc chips unless it is requested)
Instructions
In large bowl combine all ingredients except choc chips (if using them). Beat 4 min. Fold in chips. (I just beat by hand for 2 min. Until I feel that it is well incorporated). Bake at 350 until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

The batter is very thick but I think that, that is why it holds together so well. And, I would bake it for the recommended time on the package and then do the toothepick test to see if it is done. Then I usually add 5 min or so each time before I check it again. It usually needs more time to bake then a regular cake mix would need all by itself. Hope you enjoy it!

Okay, here’s the deal. My son is having his first birthday and we are having a Wild West theme. This includes my husband wanting a cowboy boot shaped cake. I need some ideas from some professionals out there on the easiest way to do this. I am always up for a new challenge so this is my latest one I suppose. I’ve looked up ideas on fondant, edible sheets of icing and stuff but there’s so much out there it is overwhelming when trying to figure out what is easiest. This will be in late September in El Paso Texas so the weather will be in the 90′s and this will be an outdoor party. . I would like for the cake to sit outside with the guests so it has to be “weather friendly”. Anyway…if anyone can give me some ideas that range from how to get the shape of the cake to how to decorate the cake to make it look like a realistic boot (leather) I would greatly appreciate it.

Satin Ice Rolled Fondant

There are a number of variations between fondant and sweet clay which are necessary to know earlier than you begin interchanging them in your cake and cookie designs.

Fondant might be made at your house utilizing easy to find ingredients. This is great because you can control what goes into it and coordinate your exact taste with the truffles or cookies. This do-it-yourself fondant can be utilized immediately or you can let it sit overnight depending on the particular recipe. Some people discover home made fondant laborious to do with of all of the kneading involved and they prefer to buy it pre-made. There are so many different types of fondant on the market. Check out Fondarific, Satin Ice, Regalice, and Duff Goldman’s new fondant. Most of those fondants could be purchased at cake decorating shops or online. Duff’s fondant is bought exclusively at Michael’s. Because of the distinction between worth and style, you should go to on-line cake forums on Cake Central or Muffins We Bake and do a search so you can read the discussions on this topic. Go to firm web sites as well. There are some that send you samples for a small fee.

Don’t like the style of your fondant? Use concentrated flavors (not extracts) to compliment your cake. A little bit goes a great distance so put money into the little droppers to get a bit out at a time.

Want to make use of fondant to make a determine? It’s best to use a 50/50 gumpaste with fondant mix because the fondant is simply too soft by itself to carry the shape. You can even add somewhat Tylose to your fondant to stiffen it up to make use of on this manner for figures. The fondant has to sit for several hours to allow the Tylose to do its job. Hold it sealed and away from your other fondant.

Candy Clay is scrumptious and might be made at house utilizing sweet melts and corn syrup. This turns into a ball of clay that should rest for twenty-four hours earlier than using. Some decorators counsel that you simply “milk” the clay to remove many of the oil from it. This can be a tedious process which could be extraordinarily messy. You are principally soaking all of the oil out of the clay using paper towels. Do not use cheesecloth. It sticks to the sweet clay and wants to remain there.

Candy Clay ought to be broken off into small items and kneaded gently to make pliable. Do not overknead it or the oils in it is going to rise up and you will have a piece of clay you cannot use. Follow kneading it and then rolling it out to get used to the way it works before starting your project. You should utilize it to create figurines and molds in the sweet molds.

Two important variations to remember: 1) Do not use Crisco on your sweet clay. It makes it shiny. Crisco can be used in your fondant to mix collectively paste or gel colors easily without dying your hands. 2) Onerous fondant will be softened using the microwave in short bursts till it’s pliable. Do not strive that with your sweet clay. It doesn’t work.

Decorating With Fondant For Beginners

Decorating desserts with fondant has been growing in popularity, largely thanks to television shows like Ace of Desserts and adorning competitions on the Food Network. The amazing muffins that people can make utilizing fondant are imaginative and beautiful.

Adhering Fondant to Fondant

Once you have got your cake coated in a layer of fondant, you may add small shapes. Moist the items you want to apply with a little bit of water utilizing a paintbrush on the shape. Press the moist-facet to the cake, on the fondant covering it until it feels secure. You can do this with shapes, leaves, flower cutouts, and plenty of different fondant decorations. Layer flower petals to create fuller blossoms or use this technique to place together elaborate bows and other three dimensional designs.

Ropes and Braids

Fondant will be rolled into ropes or twisted into braids to decorate the bottom of your cake or to make a smaller layer look nice on top of a bigger layer. Ropes can be made easily by rolling out two or three skinny logs of fondant. Begin to twist them collectively and evenly. When you make the tip of the pieces, take the twisted rope, and roll it repeatedly between your fingers to clean it out. Braids require three strips that are the same length. Press the ends collectively on one part and begin to braid by shifting the correct strip between the left and center strips. Take the left strip and transfer it between the middle and right strips. Proceed until you run out of fondant. Press the ends collectively and moisten slightly with just a little water to secure the ends. Lay the rope or braid along the base of a layer for an attractive edging.

Roses

You could make beautiful, life like roses using fondant. Start with a small ball of fondant, about 3/4 inch in diameter. Make one part flat for the base and make the ball into a cone. Take another smaller ball of fondant, about 3/8 inch in diameter and flatten it right into a round petal. You need the petal to be about 1/4 inch thick at the backside to seize the delicacy of the petal. Make a number of petals like this. Wrap a petal across the cone tightly across the base and looser across the tip to begin the bud. Repeat with three extra petals, letting each layer get progressively looser across the top. Curl the perimeters gently to resemble rose petals.

Make 5 extra petals from slightly larger balls of fondant. Flatten and shape them before including them in your rising rose. Press those petals beneath the first few petals you already attached. Curl each subsequent petal out further because it unfurls. Trim the underside of the flower and connect it to the cake with a little bit of royal icing. You can organize single roses, bunches, or sprays as it fits your design.

Patterning with Color

You may embellish white fondant by sponging shades on the base with thinned royal or butter cream icing. You can also mix two colors of fondant, creating a marbleized look.

Baby Shower Fondant Cakes

In case you are not accustomed to working with fondant icing or haven’t made roses before, then make sure that you purchase enough fondant for a number of tries because practice makes perfect.

Method 1

These directions, once perfected, give you perfect roses commonly used on marriage ceremony muffins; this methodology is tricky and it is suggested that you observe making the roses earlier than the day of preparation. Break off a small piece of the fondant and roll it until you roughly have a 1″ ball. Form the ball into a cone by pinching one side of it; ideally you want the cone to be 1.5″ tall.

To make a petal, roll a ball of fondant roughly 1 / 4 of the size of the other piece, do not worry an excessive amount about measurements. If in a later stage you discover that the sizes of the petals are too small, then begin again. Once you have your ball, we want to flatten it into a petal; use your thumb and press down on the ball. You want to create a circle that’s 2″ in diameter, it will be significant that the petal is about 1″ thick on the bottom and skinny on the top.

For a more realistic look, be certain that the petal suggestions are paper thin.

Having created the first petal, apply it to the base of the cone, carefully wrapping it round ending with a furl at the base to create a bud. It is best to begin by making use of the thick facet of the petal on the base of the cone then carefully wrapping the skinny ‘petal’ around- slightly bending it over itself to create a bloom effect. Do the same thing with the three remaining petals; applying them from the bottom bud and delicately shaping the skinny base to duplicate a rose’s petal as it unfurls from the bud.

Make 5 extra petals, this time barely bigger than the originals but be sure that you still keep the tips as thin as possible. Apply these remaining petals further down at the base than the earlier petals. Spread the petals evenly round the base layering them up and curling the edges a slight bit more to create extra bloom.

Continue layering the petals on until you are satisfied with the fullness of the rose.

Method 2

Here is a simplified method for creating a much less detailed rose, although it is a extra trendy look. This technique will provide you with a rose that if saved pure white with maybe a small silver sugar ball positioned on top of the bud might be suitable for marriage ceremony truffles; nevertheless, if used with bright coloring they are going to be perfect for birthday cakes. This method is straightforward and I recommend experimenting to create variations on the essential rose.

The methodology is as follows.

Roll out your colored fondant icing until it is 1.5cm in thickness, 15cm in width, and 20cm in length. Organize the rolled out icing in front of you so that the 20cm length is the part that is closest to you. Take the top of the fondant rectangle, pull it in the direction of you and fold it on top of itself to create a smaller layered piece of fondant that’s 3cm thick and 7.5cm wide. Do not flatten or squeeze the two layers together at all and try to leave a small cavity of air in the fold to create volume in your petals.

Cut off 1cm of length from every end of the rectangle.

Take one of the ends of your rectangle and begin to roll it up like a swiss roll; however, you do not need the rose to appear like a log so to create a bud pinch the bottom finish as you continue to roll the fondant length around itself. This should create a basic rose shape. After reducing any extra icing, rigorously push again and separate the layers to offer the flower more shape. To finish, reduce little leave shapes out of inexperienced icing and persist with the underside of the rose. If you want to create a realistic aspect to your iced cake, make a number of of these flowers and link them with green leaves, creating a rose chain round your cake. To completely change the completed look of the rose, minimize the folded over icing and pinch to create two layers of thin petals; once rolled, splay the thin layers out to create a carnation type flower.

Method 3

Here is a 3rd method for creating flowers, this time small buds, that when made in quantity can be used to create a bouquet effect or just used to embellish cupcakes by themselves. Take a small ball of fondant around 2cm in measurement and roll it into a 0.5cm thick sausage shape utilizing a small rolling pin roll out the icing till it is a really skinny consistency. Utilizing your fingers apply strain and pull the icing to one side so that this facet becomes thinner than the opposite one, further skinny it out through the use of a cocktail stick as a rolling pin.

Carefully roll up the length of the icing like a Swiss roll. Take the little icing roll which ought to be around 1-2cm diameter and smooth the edge in the outer layer with assistance from the cocktail stick. Pinch the roll 3-4cm from the ‘bloom’ to get rid of the unused icing and to encourage the outer layers of the roll to splay out. Very gently along with your index finger separate and furl back the layers of the roll to create the effect of petals. It might be useful to make use of your cocktail stick or a tissue coated cocktail stick (to guard the form of the icing) to slightly separate the layers of the roll and shape them backwards to create the effect of a bloom.

Take catering scissors (particularly sharp scissor may also do) and reduce the roll so that it is just 1.5-2cm. This leaves a small flower that when produced in bright colors looks good on top of iced cupcakes and birthday truffles; turning a celebration cake into something special!

Choosing A Frozen Yogurt Maker

On a hot day it can be tempting to cool down with some ice cream. But this can often be very high in calories. Frozen yogurt can be a lower calorie alternative, but how can you be sure that it is made from natural ingredients? With a frozen yogurt maker you can make your own and know exactly what you are eating.

Frozen yogurt makers on average take around 20 to 40 minutes to produce frozen yogurt. You add the liquid ingredients first and then add solid ingredients such as nuts, fruit or chocolate chips. Check reviews online as times will vary according to models.

If you have children it is also a good way of sneaking in fruit into something that is nice and a fun treat. Another benefit of using a frozen yogurt maker is because you are making it then you know what they are eating. If you are buying from a supermarket or a restaurant it is not always possible to know what additives are included and how they could potentially affect your child.

Another problem is how easy it is to clean. While it is nice to have quickly produced yogurt it can be frustrating if there are lot of parts to remove and have to clean before using again. Most product reviews should help you find one that is not too difficult to use.

As well as the model itself you should look at what comes with the machine. Some come with storage jars with tight lids. This is useful if you want to make a batch to last you throughout the week, ideal if you are busy or want to make some for your family. It is also useful if you are low on bowls and get unexpected guests.

Others come with recipe books. The great thing about frozen yogurt makers is the ability to try different recipes, everything from classics like mint choc or fruit varieties all the way to unusual chocolate and peanut butter variations on the frozen yogurt theme. Once you master the recipes you can start experimenting with your own recipe ideas.

Finally check reviews carefully to see what you buy when getting a frozen yogurt maker. You should be able to find out the warranty and the contents of the machine. Ideally you should be able to find one with storage jars or a recipe book. If not then you can get recipes and advice on the best storage online.

What about making a cheesecake, which is topped with plump, juicy strawberries or vibrant orange mandarin segments? Sliced peaches would also be delicious and you can combine fruit with other ingredients, like jello, marshmallows, chocolate, caramel, or ice cream syrup.

Use one or two fruits or a variety of different ones. You might like to arrange it in rings around the cheesecake for a stunning presentation. Pineapple and banana would be tasty if you want to make an exotic cheesecake and you can sprinkle toasted desiccated coconut over the top or use it in the cream cheese layer.

Cheesecake with Jello

If you are looking for new ideas for a simple cheesecake recipe what about using jello? Jello will seal the top of the cheesecake to stop the fruit sliding off, add a bright color and a fruity flavor, and give the top of your homemade dessert a nice texture as well.

Try adding dry jello powder to the cream cheese filling to add fruitiness and color or use it to top the cheesecake. Jello is a good ingredient to use with cheesecake, whatever type of cheesecake you are making.

The Richest and Most Decadent Toppings

Even though some people claim to prefer plain cheesecakes, which are not that sweet and might not even feature a topping, most of us enjoy rich and indulgent cheesecakes, at least some of the time. Marshmallows, chocolate ganache, walnuts or pecans, hot fudge, rich praline, streusel, caramel and graham cracker crumbs with fruit are just some of your choices.

What about making a four seasons style cheesecake? If you have tried a four seasons pizza you will know that each quarter has different toppings. You can do this with a baked or no bake cheesecake too, by decorating two diagonally opposite quarters with a chocolate caramel sauce and the other quarters with fresh fruit. Of course, it would be harder to decorate the dessert in this way using jello because it is runny, so if you want to use jello use it all over the cheesecake instead.

Whichever toppings you opt for, cheesecake is one of the easiest desserts to make. You can use a readymade crust or you can make your own. The cream cheese layer is usually very simple and the topping is also as easy as you want to make it. If you have never made a jello cheesecake before, then you might like to try this exciting dessert idea.
