Anyone Tried Using Rubber Stamps On Fondant?

I am making a gift box cake and want it to look like ladybug wrapping paper. I could only find a rubber ladybug stamp. Has anyone ever tried food color paint with rubber stamps on fondant??
I guess it will at least emboss it, but it would be nice not to have to paint all of the detail with a brush.
it does work!!! just make sure it's a brand new stamp and not one you've used ink on........what I do is wet a small sponge or paper towel and squeeze off excess liquid, then with a paint brush ...brush on some of your gel coloring and then blot the stamp onto the sponge picking up the color.......I always practice on a spare little sheet of fondant before going directly onto the cake..........it works really well though.....sometimes once you've stamped you'll have one little line that doesn't show up perfectly.....don't try to restamp it you'll never line it up perfectly again....instead I've gone back with a little extra color on the end of a toothpick for really small details or you can wait for it to dry and go over the lines again with a food marker. Have fun, there's a million designs possible once you realize you can use that gel coloring as paint LOL
khalstead,
What is the gel coloring you are referring to?
Thanks
Neat! I was just getting ready to ask the same question. Good to know this can work.
Thanks!
Ihave stamped on fondant before. I use the Wilton Brush-On Color. It comes out like paint. Just use a paint brush and brush it on the stamp. Very gentally press the stamp on the fondany. It doesn't take very much pressure. Good luck and hope this helps.
