How Do I Curl The End Of Rolled Fondant
Decorating By lalakanosho Updated 20 Jul 2008 , 3:00am by melysa
I have recently seen a cake that had a mardi gras theme to it and on the top layer it looked like they had double covered it with fondant and cut the ends of the top layer in triangles and curled them upward. i was wanting to recreat this effect of a cake of my own and wanted to know if anybody knew the technique.
Without seeing it, my first thought would be that the triangles were cut separately, allowed to dry on a form and reattached.
Is something like this what you are referring to?

I'd like to know how she did this to. You could send a PM to either the person who made the cake you saw, or to Melysa who made this one and ask them.....then tell us
that's exactly what I was talking about. I sent her a message so I guess we'll see
thanks, I new to the website and I guess I'm still learning my way around it.
hee hee.....I guess I've not read them! Thanks for the tip!
lalakanosho, i've just replied to your pm.
here is another that i did like that, but with an added snail trail border painted with s uper p earl d ust. i loved how it turned out http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=gallery&file=displayimage&pid=266523 . i believe i learned the technique of curling the fondant by another member here , tutugirl, a couple of years ago.
simple technique, just curl up with a dowel, straw or pencil a couple of times (go around the cake once, and then a second time) and it should start to hold its shape. thats it!
