How Do I Make Fondant/gumpaste "steel Wool" ??
Decorating By Jennifer204 Updated 28 Aug 2013 , 4:28am by pastrygirls
Hi Guys,,,,does anyone have any ideas on how I can make something look like the steel wool pan cleaners....more the curly springy looking ones (if you know what I mean) not the soap pads! Strange request I know but I need this for an upcoming cake that this item is relevant too! Thanks in advance for any advice/tips. Thanks.
wow, that sounds like a toughie. I would roll fondant very thin, and then use a pizza cutter to cut very thin strips. wrap them around some dowels tightly, and when they are almost dry take them off and scrunch them together gently. then I would spray them with the silver edible paint you can get at walmart in the cake section.

The only other thing I can add is use a smaller dowels. i think the standard cake dowels might be too large. This is an interesting request- love to see pics when you get it finished.
Hi Guys....thanks so much for taking the time to reply! I had thought of kinda doing something like that, but it didn;t really work for me (or maybe I was doing it wrong). So in the end I gave up on that idea.....however, for future reference, someone since then has suggested the best way would have been to make spun sugar, roll that into a little nest/circle type thing & spray with edible silver....quite interesting concept & possibly the best way to go...if you don;t mind making all the mess with the spun sugar! May give it a try purely out of curiousity. Thanks again guys.
AMy thoughts would be that it would dissolve the sugar but idk. Let me know how it works for you
What about a clay extruder and using the die with the smaller holes? then just let it dry a bit and scrunch it up and spray silver. Thats what I'd try
