I've been checking out some fondant ties (for father's day) and I've seen striped ties. Anyone know how they get the 2 colors of fondant together looking so seamless? Are they painted or are they actually 2 pieces of colored fondant? If they're two difference pieces of colored fondant, how do they get them together so neatly???

Funny, so glad you posted this, because I was going to post the same question a couple of days ago when I stumbled across a perfectly angled, two-toned fondant stretched over a heart-shaped cake. It was beautiful.

I have seen a demo where they put two different colors of fondant together and then roll with a rolling pin to combine. This heart, however, had a perfectly straight seem and I don't see how that was possible with the rolling method.

Anyone???

Is it possible it was done with chocolate? I remember seeing a post about this awhile back.

Here is that post I was talking about...

I've never done this with fondant, but I have done it with polymer clay.

I would think that you would roll out your colored fondant very, very thin, and cut it into strips.

Then roll out another piece of fondant very, very thin; brush with water, then lay the colored strips over it as close together as possible, flip over so the stripes are against your rolling mat, and roll the underlying piece of fondant with the rolling pin VERY lightly...just enough pressure to stick them together but not spread it out. Then cut into the tie shape.

I REALLY HOPE that made sense!
