25 May 09: My 1st Fondant attempt

Lifeng forwarded me this site@ http://www.mongstirs.com/ and everything there seems so interesting lor.... so I signed up for a Fondant modeling workshop. Too bad, Lifeng's colleague already took leave for tat day so she is not able to join this workshop :(

The class is fun... only 4 person in a class. Fees is only @ $100 including tools, a packet of wilton fondant & 6 pre-prepared cupcakes.

We learnt 6 pretty looking figurines: crown, baby booties, bee, car, handbag & elmo... fun fun fun :D

1st we start off making a crown... but I was too engrossed and forgot to take picture... then we make the baby booties....

• Roll out 2 white balls of the same size
• Use a dog-bone tool to dig a hole in each ball
• Pipe ribbon on the booties using tip no.3
• Decorate with golden ball-ball

Here's the "Chanel" handbag :D

• Roll out Fondant to about 1/2cm thick
• Press quited plastic moulding sheet on the rolled-out fondant using rolling pin
• Cut out 2 "rectangles" - 1 for front of bag, 1 for back.
• Roll out another fondant sheet of about 2mm thick (for the bag flap)
• Roll out a tiny stripe for the handle
• "Glue" all bits and pieces together using water :D
• Decorate with golden ball-ball

• 1 long black stripe for the body stripe
• 1 short black strip for the sting
• 1 "m" shape white fondant
• roll the black strip on the yellow oval-ball, using water to stick
• white "m" shape fondant for the wings
• use edible marker to dot the eyes
• use any rounded cutter to shape the bee's smiling mouth
• dig a hole at the back of the bee and place in the sting
