Hi i've been tasked with making a cake with a plate of macaroni and peas on top. I work with fondant and have no problems with the macaroni and peas, but to get the macaroni to look realistic i need to make it look like its in cheese sauce. Here's my problem, i just can't work out how to make fondant look like cheese sauce! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make my fondant cheese sauce please!! TFL xx
dont use fondant for that. Use a super thin royal, like you would to color flow. It will pour out just like cheese sauce. If you put a little vanilla or almond in the royal, it will taste better.
Use fondant for the macaroni and peas.
You could also try the orange Wilton candy melts with cream to make something similar to a pourable ganache. I'm planning on a mac and cheese cake for my DH for his birthday and was going to use the orange candy melts to make the cheese sauce. I'm hoping that with the cream mixed in it will tone down the orange color somewhat. I'd be interested to know how yours turns out. Can you post to this thread when you're done and let us know how it goes?
When I saw the title I was about to be like "Umm okay well you whisk some flour and butter, and then you add half and half, and then you melt in some cheddar cheese, and....."
Oops!

LOL Me too! I was sure it was one of those spammy messages that's been getting through in the last little while, and I was all prepared to be snarky. I guess we shouldnever judge a post by its title.
Thankyou for all your reply's. I don't know what steamed buttercream is, i presume poured bc is thinned down, which could work well. I never thought about royal icing or candy melts - i think one of these idea's will work for me. Thanks very much, a fresh pair of eyes sometimes see's the obvious, i was totally stumped!

Ha ha i'm sorry, i did actually try to make my title obvious - i probably should have included the word cake in there though!
Thanks again everyone xx
"steamed" buttercream means you warm it up carefully. you can do it in short bursts in the microwave or you can have it in a bowl over a pot of simmering water. it should get loose enough to pour, but not too hot that it will separate ... even if that happens, you can just cool it, re-whip, and re-use.
