I am attempting to make a Thomas the Tank Engine cake which will have a battery operated train going on a track and through a tunnel made of rice krispie treats. I was thinking about putting a lake on the cake. I was going to use blue jelly for the lake. The cake will be covered with fondant.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions????
Thanks icon_biggrin.gif

Should work...or blue tinted piping gel.

Jelly is a bit too wet to put directly into fondant, it would turn the fondant into a goopy mess. Piping gel would work though. I would make the area for the lake with a couple shades of blue fondant, getting darker toward the centre of the lake, to give it the illusion of depth, then just paint a little clear piping gel over the blue (or you could tint the piping gel slightly).
