Does anyone have any tips on how to make fondant look marble-looking? I was trying to search in forum files but cannot seem to find any tips or threads about it...I would like to attempt this tonight for a cake so I would love some quick responses....
Thanks,
Mandy
That is what I thought happened too ...... that you just don't blend the colors all in... I am only wanting to try to marbelize ( is that a word
) pink and white.....I love the tutorial...
You can marble fondant rather easily.
Divide the fondant into 3 equal part and colors, as
ivory, light brown and medium brown....for an example.
Roll each of the colors to form a log.
Stack the 3 log one on top of each other.
Color with food paste between the lightest and next color in the stack with
toothpick streaks of food color paste that compliment the colors...like dark brown if using the ivory, brown, dark brown example.
Roll the stacked logs into a coil.
Roll out to size needed on Crisco coated clear plastic sheeting or silpat mat etc.
Flip onto buttercream coated cake.
Smooth with fondant smoothers or your hand.
Trim bottom edge of cake with a pizza cutter. Save excess to make ruffles and decorations.
If trouble smoothing the bottom edge of the cake due to too much bulk
horizontally, then gentley lift the drape and smooth
Thanks you guys so much!!!!!! Especially for the step by step instructions! Mac, your cakes are unbelievable!! You do such an amazing job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have loads to learn!!!!!!
I have made a few marbled cakes. All I do is put some streaks of colour through the fondant and pull and fold until I am happy with the marbling.
The ateco tutorial is pretty good as someone mentioned

I did one recently that I did it similarly to the ateco video, but I just rolled it into a log shape and streaked coloring with a toothpick, then I twisted it and coiled it (like the video) It gave me the look I was going for (see my firefighter cake)
