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.

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?

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

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.
