Yes, just balls of fondant. If you want different size balls just pinch off an amount but if you want a more uniform size all the way around roll your fondant into a rope using two dowel rods on either side- rolling all three so you get a uniform size rope- then cut into the same size pieces - up to you.
OR you could roll out your fondant flat and use a shape cutter like a circle or oval & cut out a bunch at once....then roll into balls. You get a uniform size that way too.
I am just starting to do cakes.. from belize (central america). We dont have a school here to teach this kind of stuff but I always see that they color them with gold or silver.. what do they use to make it like that? Or they look like pearls, so pretty. Amateur I know. I learnt everything I know from online videos. So really can use ALOT of help. Thanks.
hi Dr3amCak3s, not sure about what other people use but when I need to colour things gold or silver I use a cake decorating lustre powder. You mix with a little bit of clear alcohol, such as gin or vodka to a paint like consistency and then paint it on to your fondant. I'm self taught myself and learnt from books and I think the internet is a godsend that is how I came across this fantastic website, which is so full of great ideas.
