Rolled Fondant-Covered Petit Fours

Rolled Fondant-Covered Petit Fours

Because I'm not crazy about the taste of poured fondant, I decided to go with rolled. New meaning to the word "tedious". Almond torte with amaretto and apricot glaze. Orange pound cake with Grande Marnier and marmelade glaze.

Houndstooth With Fantasy Flower

Houndstooth With Fantasy Flower

Trying out a couple of new toys -- the houndstooth stencil and a pearl cutter. The tricky part with the stencil is matching up the pattern since the stencil is only about a third of the circumference of an 8-inch round. I used a strip of fondant rather than trying it directly on the cake. Matching the seams is tough!

Construction Site

Construction Site

Birthday boy is in the heavy equipment business and doesn't eat chocolate. Had to use his toys and make an earth-moving scene with no chocolate, so I used marbleized fondant and sugar crystals. Used the toys to make tread marks on everything.

Rockclimber Reaches 30!

Rockclimber Reaches 30!

Base tier is 3 layers iced in dark chocolate ganache. Top tier is marbelinzed fondant. Large rocks, figure, numerals are gumpaste. Small rocks are purchased chocolate candies. What fun to do a cake where neither the icing nor the fondant have to be smooth!! All the "mistakes" are on purpose!
