Hi, I'm trying to make a quilted blanket out of fondant and I'd like it to look lsmooth and flat, like fabric. I understand the concept of doing a fondant inlay, but I have not been able to get the surface or edges of the fondant to be connected neatly.

Any ideas on how they got this inlay to be so smooth and seamless as the flowers are in this photo? Thanks! http://cakecentral.com/newsearch?search=fondant+inlay&type=61

You could message the person and ask them how they got the look.

AI would be surprised if she told you since she paid to take the class. I'd be inclined to decline you any information if I forked out $500+ for a Collette Peters workshop and someone asked me for the hints and tips.

Anyway... I would hazard a guess that either its cut out and inlayed with great precision or the shapes are rolled into the larger piece of fondant, though I would think that would be extremely difficult.

I agree! If I took the class for $500+ and someone asked me for tips and tricks, I would say, "Sure, for $250+!"

Agreed, but she hadn't posted the actual link. Just a link to the search she did. Was no way to know which cake it was.

Yes, I see that. However, my initial comment was before she posted that. I was just agreeing that I would be reluctant to give out the info after such a pricey class. When I said to ask, there was no way of knowing which cake she meant. Hence the past tense hadn't in my second post.
