I have a request for a cake covered in fondant that looks like cowhide. Any suggestions to how to make cowhide? She wants the cowhide mostly white.

Here is the link to the cake she saw:
http://www.deliciouscakes.com/Grooms%20Cakes.html
It is the 7th cake

Here is my plan:
Get white and brown fondant

Roll each out to about 1/2 inch

Cut matching wavy strips of each, the white about 3 times wider than the brown

Piece them together and finish rolling out

Cover the cake

Does it sound like my plan will get the right effect?

Any better plans?

TIA
Hamie

I have only done fondant on one cake. I have read about doing the effect you want. You have the right idea. I think you can roll it thinner before piecing it together. I cannot remember how thick fondant is suppose to be to cover a cake with.

sounds good. I probally would just cut the brown and put it on top after you rolled it out a bit.
