Will someone please advise how to get the striations in the fondant shells? I have done just colored ones and now need some to look as close to real ones as possible. Thank you in advance for all help I receive.

I used a bit of light brown fondant mixed with white to make these shells. Just take a couple of pinches of both, roll them together a bit, and squish into your mold. Also used pearl luster dust to dust them after unmolding. They are pretty small since they went on cookies, but I think first impressions has a larger shell mold, if you need bigger ones. HTH
Thank you for all the answers!!! I wasn't sure about mixing the two colors of fondant together or not since I did not want them to look marbelled but, as though it was striated.

Here's a great thread...disregard the title and scroll down to gscout73's post(s): http://www.cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=634043&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=15
do you just dust them with the dry pearl dust or do you mix the dust with vodka or another liquid to make it like a paint?
I used the pearl dust dry, works fine that way and you don't risk losing the detail in case you get it too wet.
