Dora the explora back pack

My 3 years old made this...LMAO

She said she can design her own birthday cake and I let her do it. I was super amazed it came out quite pretty lol. I laid the fondant on the cake for her though and she did the rest. Kudos to her! Lol

Adding shine to your fondant Pt 2

The first part of this post is in my prebious post!

The list is endless but try these once out as well;

1. Kneed a little quantity of crisco shortening in the fondant before laying it.

2.corn syrup/alcohol mix (half and half) to glaze over. It takes a little time to dry, but is shiney!

3.Egg whites: brush lightly over the fondant.

4.Everclear: this is a brand of of alcohol, brush over fondant as well.

5. Pam: this is a non-stick cooking spray, spray over the fondant about 5meters away from the cake.

Adding shine to your fondant pt 1

I used to wonder how some fondant cakes look so glossy, after a research I tried these tips and I got awesome results. Let me share some of them with you:

1. Steaming: steaming a fondant-covered cake not only gives it a beautiful shine, but also get's rid off all the powdered sugar left on the fondant.

By being able to clean off the powdered sugar by steaming it, I don't have to worry so much about keeping the cake clean until it's finished. It always comes out looking beautiful.
I hope this helps.

2.Edible vanish:
1 t. gelatin
3 t. water
1 t. liquid glucose

Sprinkle gelatin in the water. Let stand until it becomes spongy. Dissolve until clear over hot, not boiling water, Add the liquid glucose and stir until ingredients are well combined. Pour this mixture into an airtight container. The mixture will get very stiff. To use it, heat the varnish in a container of hot, not boiling, water. Paint onto the item to be varnished while the mixture is still hot. The edible varnish should NOT be kept in the refrigerator.
