Does anyone know how you go about making rolled fondant look like gingham checked material. I am doing a(Bundle) cake for a baby shower and I need one layer to look like Denim and the other to look like red and white gingham check. I wouold appreciate some help on how this might be done.

Thanks for asking this question as I would also like to know. Here is a bump!

I think you could paint it on with a brush , pipe on ribbons with B/C, or use real ribbon. Just a thought

Make a stencil and air brush or stencil and paint by hand, I am going to experiment with stencils and my airbrush soon I love the old fashione candy striped chocolate box look. But will the airbrush behave. It is something that cannot go wron as the cake is already covered. Goodluck

Very cute idea for a cake. Can't wait to see it. I am doing a gingham cake in July but I am using BC instead of fondant. Good luck.

If you don't have an airbrush you can "paint" it on with gel color diluted w/water. I did a 1st Bday cake w/a gingham border. It's in my photos. Mine was just a border, though, about 2" of fondant. I placed the fondant on first and then painted it. For you to do a full cake, you'd have to have a steady hand. Practice first. Get some good paint brushes. Sounds like a cute cake!

Another way to "paint" the color on would be to use a little sponge in the shape of a square and stamp on the color.
Good Luck, I'd love to see that picture!
