How To Give Fondant A Stone/gravel Texture.
Decorating By KJF1985 Updated 1 Apr 2011 , 1:52pm by KJF1985
I'm in the planning stages of my husbands birthday cake and am trying to figure out a simple way to give some fondant a stone or gravel texture. I know sometimes when painting a room people use balled up plastic bags for a faux finish. Could I do that and just go over it with a rolling pin?
Any other ideas?? Thanks!
Not knowing exactly what you are making. . .
There's a stone impression mat you can buy. Or if you want more of a brick look, I've used a wooden skewer to make the lines. I'd take some spare fondant and try different things until you are satisfied! Hth!
What about sponging on it with butter cream or royal icing?
After you roll out your fondant take a clean piece of styrofoam (the hard kind the florists use to put silk flowers in) and break it into to get a rough edge and then press that rough edge into the fondant. This creates a rough gravely texture on your fondant. I learned this technique in a Nick Lodge class that I went to.

Oh this is an awesome idea!!! I had thought about buttercream too but the overall look wasn't really what I was going for. I will definitely try this though!! Thanks a ton!
