Baking Project

I made this yesterday, felt so long since I did some artsy stuff. I don’t know what to call it actually. Is there a special name for this kind of deco ? It’s usually put on top of cakes. Anyway, the tutorial, if you would like to know how it’s made.

First, cut out any fun shapes you want from your coloured fondant.

While the cut outs are still soft, insert the fine wires into it. You can buy this very thin wires from DIY shops, shops selling needlework equipments or wedding gift craft. Twist some wires around a pencil to get the ’spring’ look. Leave that to dry.

Then prepare the round container. Just estimate the size you want depending on the length of your wires. For this you need to use gumpaste or modelling paste, as this container has to be hard. Cut out a long strip.

You can decorate the strips with whatever design you fancy. Then wrap it around something cylindrical. Make sure it doesn’t stick to the sides of the bottle by running the insides with a cocktail stick before leaving it to dry.

Make a round base. Stick it to the body of the container with some water or royal icing. Fill the container with some fondant and insert the wires into it.

Arrange as you please. Once all the wires are in, cover the base with some green or matching coloured fondant to make it look neat.

You can design your own container, different shapes, different colours. Or maybe use other shapes to stick to the wires. It would add that special touch to any cakes.

You have to try it, ok.
