I had a friend ask me to do the top of her cake like this. I was planning on using piping gel but heard it destroys fondant and basically washes away the colors. Any ideas on how to do the fish under the gel?
Thanks! I do plan on practicing with wafer paper.
I made a swimming pool out of fondant and filled it with piping gel and it had no effect on the fondant what so ever. Last weekend, I did a coffee cup with piping gel on top of modeling chocolate and against the fondant sides of the cup, again, no change. Worked perfectly with both applications.
Thanks everyone for replying! So I had an idea of going straight to the source! The picture is trademarked so I went to the website and sent am email to the cake shop. Of course, I would have understood if they didn't want to share their knowledge...but was pleasantly surprised when the owner wrote me back telling me exactly how she made her fish...white chocolate! I ended up using candy melts which worked well too!
the photo is someone else’s property — the design is not — not usually — at one time when the topsy turvey cakes first came out poppy s — can’t remember her exact name — copyrighted the Name “whimsy cakes” and she sold them mail order too — but we all made the cakes because the design is not proprietary — giving credit to the original design is always in good form — but often you don’t know who it is — someone brings in a picture and they want it —
