I have never worked with fondant before.
But I kinda liked it.
I am rolling out fondant for ‘petit fours’.
If you clicked on the link above you saw that I chose the easy version and used Oreo Cakesters.
Now that I have a little experience under my belt, (not to mention a few Oreo Cakesters, yummy!) I just might try and make them from scratch next time.
I’m pretty sure that there is supposed to be a smooth edge and no folds at the bottom.
Oh well.
I have a theme in mind.. can you guess? 🙂
Listen. I have to be honest.
I tried to be hip and cool and make something very festive and seasonal.
But I cant!
I don’t like bats. I don’t like spiders. So I knew if I was going to be making them they had to be pretty.
I do not want to eat (much less look at) a scary spider or a rabies infested bat!
So I made them white.
These are my petit fours.
Halloween style.
I am pretty sure thats an oxymoron of some sort.
This is my version of a spider. White fondant covered in white sprinkles.
Although I think fondant tastes like poo, it was really fun to work with!
In addition, a sweet reader pointed me in the direction of her homemade marshmallow version.
I just might have to try it.
Then maybe, I can actually eat what I make.
Amanda,
Cheri Kromrey and I are just going oh my goodness… those are so good! Another WOW for you!
absolutely adorable! You do have a knack for cakes! I have heard the marshmallow is better too. Yes, fondant is disgusting. I am a buttercream girl myself.
See, this is why I need you for my bakery!! I know nothing about fondant or petite fours. These are probably something every bakery needs!!
Wow! You did an amazing job! Those are super cute. We don’t do Halloween in our house but I love, love, love the pumpkin ones.
They are beautiful. Fondant though = GAG!
By the way I attempted sugar cookies today and I am pretty sure they are garbage, I will post some pics to facebook later. The problem is…CATS, next time I will cut the recipe in half so I can manage them easier and put them away, out of cats reach.
Those are super cute! I do have to admit the spider ones are creepy…I am scared of spiders to begin with, and we have giant (Well, they are giant to me) white ones here…so I had to shudder at your spider ones!
Those are cute! I don’t know what fondant is, so I guess I’ll continue to just steer clear of it.
Sorry to have scared you! 😉
Blessings-
Amanda
OOOOh, so FUN! Alex is looking at this with me and he “Those look so delicious!” I said “I know!” He said, “Order some!” So are you starting a business…so we can order a dozen of those! Awesome job! {And, ewww, real white spiders! Someone really has those! Aah! Very creepy! We get the big black ones and I wack them with the nearest shoe…or make Dan get out of bed to kill it!}
