Often I see people kneading their fondant only until it softens and then away they go. I like to lightly grease my area with shortening. Cornstarch dries the fondant out way faster and while you may be able to get away with it with lighter colours, it definately is your enemy in this case. The rich colours are extremely difficult to achieve on your own, and if you add too much colour to your white fondant it can “break” the fondant and the consistency goes all wonky.įirst off, use as little (or preferably none) cornstarch or icing sugar on your countertop/mat as possible when rolling it out. I normally make my own marshmallow fondant because customers prefer the taste, but in the case of black and red, I will be using Wiltons brand store bought fondant. While I still have my issues from time to time, I have a few tips that make the process of using them a little easier.
#Simple easy paw patrol cake cracked#
Any fondant that is super rich in color like black or red is far more likely to give you the elephant skin or cracked look. The thing about red fondant is that it can be a bit of a, well, bitch. Now, Marshall’s uniform is red, so I opted to cover the top tier in red fondant and design it to look a little more personalized to him. Both are wrapped up in vanilla Swiss Meringue buttercream.
Here, I am using a 9″ chocolate mud cake base and a 7″ tier. It all starts with two nicely iced cakes. Some of the pics are less than stellar quality, but I hope they will suffice! This time around I actually had the time to take a few pics showing how I made this cake, so I hope this is helpful to someone out there. I TRIPLE checked that I hadn’t actually messed up my order, then headed back to bed and mumbled to myself that I obviously needed to cut back on the P.P. As I started to cry, Rubble, one of the lovable pups from Paw Patrol, magically appeared and together we made a new cake! Then I woke up.
Yep, another Paw Patrol cake! The night that I finished this bad boy, I woke up at 3am and had a panic attack that I made a different character than the client had requested.
