Questions About Using Rice Krispie Treats To Carve
Decorating By sherylshirley Updated 1 Jul 2009 , 9:33pm by jocakes
Do I use the recipe on the box or do I increase, substitute or change any of the ingredients? My recipe came out so hard and lumpy and I couldnt for the life of me smooth it out. When I tried to carve it, it broke off in chunks. There is definately an art to carving rkt.
I use the exact recipe that's in the box with butter. I also just shape it into what I need it for. Example, I made a baby shower cake with a baby bottle and shaped the bottle, covered it in BC, then fondant and it came out beautiful. NO CARVING. I think it gets too complicated and and its wasteful. Unless you need to get a really sharp edge, I would not recommend carving RKT. Another hint is to let the RKT set, ya know...leave them out for a few hours (after I mold them of course) and I haven't had a problem with them going stale, either.
