Soccer Girl Cake
This is one of 3 cakes I did for my cousin, grandmother and aunt celebrating birthdays the same day. WHEW! This was the soccer ball cake ...all chocolate with pink butter cream icing for the ball & grass , black fondant for the pattern on the ball and a fondant girl.
very cute!
Your fondant girl is just great! So detailed! Great job on all of it!
Super job! I love this work. I have done some work with polymer clay and I wonder how similar it is to fondant modeling. What do you think?
Holy mackerel!! Three cakes to do for one day?! Wow!!! ::cheers for you:: Very impressive!
Sooo cute!
It's similar in what you can do with clay but fondant is a little more difficult to work with. Fondant has a tendancy to dry out if you don't keep it covered and is also softer than clay. EX: I had to prop her up overnight in order for the fondant to dry so she wouldn't lay down lol. Becaues it is so soft i keep confectioners sugar right next to me to sprinkle on the dough if i need it. After i color some, i add confectioners sugar to keep from sticking to my fingers. Hope this helps
thank you everyone. I was just a little frantic at times !
thanks!
I love your fondant girl! Great detail- she even has toes! Thanks for sharing. :)
Oh, I think that she is so cute!! How did you do that?
Great work. and nice modeling.
Well my mother & aunt started me on modeling clay when I was 5. I have many books on clay figures and they have great easy directions. If you want to know more drop me an email ..I can even scan a few for you and give you the names of the books.
Thanks !
