Transfering Patterns To Side Of Fondant Cake?
Decorating By Lenore Updated 29 Jul 2007 , 12:21am by Lenore
How do you transfer complicated patterns to the side of a cake covered with fondant? Wilton suggests tracing with a toothpick but that was just too difficult for me....paper kept shifting, only some of the pattern transferred and was difficult to see...Is there an easier way? I would greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you in advance.
On the foodnetwork simpson's challenge the other night, someone made a "stamp" out of squares of plexiglass and hardened piped royal. I guess it depends on how intricate your design is, but you could lay the plexiglass over the design, pipe with royal and impress in the fondant when dry.

Ok I missed that one but may I say...what a GREAT idea!! Gotta luv the Food network
I use a sheet of acrylic..... lay it over any pattern of your choice, and trace it with HOT GLUE....... It makes a perfect impression when you press it onto your cake. Then you can just go over it with your piping bag with any color you wish.....
oh wow that is a great idea as well!!
Thanks. You are all such a clever bunch!!
Not really, I wouldn't have come up with than on my own - gotta love FoodNetwork!! 
You can get them by the yard at any fabric shop, or actually I buy mine at WalMart..... they are good for rolling out fondant and gumpaste too...... It comes in different thicknesses, so I just chose a "medium" and it works just great..... I think it comes in 60" widths, so you don't need much , and it is really cheap.......
