So I was after some different coral/seaweed methods for a cake, I've used fondant before but found myself running out of ideas when modelling.
This time I plan on using fondant again, but also doing some royal icing piping on a stencil. I was just after some ideas for different types of coral? (Not really liking the isomalt look)
is this sugar on the outside of this coral? How would I go about using that effect, how would I make it stick? http://cakecentral.com/g/i/1885845/a/1886845/coral-birthday-cake/
and in this picture, does anyone know the tip used to pipe the seaweed? http://cakecentral.com/g/i/1188081/a/1189081/for-my-twin-newphews-birthday/
Thanks!
When I made my Nemo cake I used grape stems dipped in different colors of Wilton Candy Melts. They were very easy and came out great!

How to Make Coral With Fondant : Fondant Designs
To get the sugar to stick on the coral, I have brushed gum glue on fondant or fondant/gumpaste blend and then sprinkled with sugar. I recently did a candy land themed cake and for gumdrop mountains, made the gumdrops out of fondant and then brushed with gum glue and sprinkled with sugar.
To pipe the seaweed, use a tip 67.
Good luck. Love doing the ocean themed cakes.
Thank you so much! May I ask, the gum glue- is that home made or do you buy it from a cake decorating store?

Another way to make the gum glue is one part of CMC and 20 of wáter. Example 1/4 tsp CMC and 20 1/4 tsp (5 tsp of warm wáter) you have to keep it in the refri.
