In this lesson, my classmate and I worked on creating daises, mums and covering a cake board in fondant. Sadly, I wasn't able to get any pictures of covering a cake board or assembling mum flowers.
All I was able to get pictures of was making daises.
First, knead and roll fondant/gum paste. Then cut out one small daisy and one large daisy.
A secret that our instructor gave us, was to roll over the plastic cutter to get a clean cut.*
*Never do this with metal cutters as this will permanently ruin your plastic roller.
Put the large one in a forming cup, and place the small one in the middle, offset.
Then roll out a small yellow circle and push it in the middle of the flower.
You can use a fondant shaping tool to create small dots in the middle to make it appear more like a daisy.
They were lots of fun and really easy to create!
Covering a cake board with fondant was fairly easy.
First, we piped, or brushed piping gel in a spiral on the top of the cake board.
Then rolled out fondant a little bit larger than the cake board and placed a Wilton Imprint Mat on top of the fondant and pressed really hard into the fondant with bare hands or roller, making sure that the neither the Roll-N-Cut mat or the Imprint Mat moved.
The whole thing was then flipped opposite so that the Roll-N-Cut mat was on top. That was then peeled off and the cake board was placed directly in the middle, attached by the piping gel.
The fondant was then applied just like a pie crust would be.
(Fondant Imprint Mats are also perfect for making a cute pie crust)
Next up, our final class for course three!
