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.

  1. Those are so cute. Where do you find the time? I swear you have more hours in the day then I do…you are so productive. Great job! I don’t like bats or spiders either:)

  2. Cute. And I agree fondant does taste like poo. And it shouldn’t. Pretty things should not taste nasty. I’ll have to try and find the marshmallow version. It certainly must be better. I hope.

  3. the bible says to think on things which are lovely, so you might as well think to make things beautiful even if the season isn’t pretty! beautiful and so fun!

  4. Those look awesome! I hope none of my IRL friends read your blog because then they will NOT want to eat any party food at my house ever again. They will say “hey, that does not look like Martha Stewart Amanda made it!” I will be in shame…utter shame. On the bright side, I also hate fondant. I get a little depressed at weddings when the cake has been covered in it because I know I won’t want to eat any. Anyway, those look very fun for Halloween…your kids are lucky to have a creative mommy.

  5. Oh they are soooo cute!! I love the spiderweb ones the best! And yes, oreo cakesters are yummy! (Shame on them for even making them so good!) 🙂

  6. So I have to ask..what do you DO with all these goodies? I mean you can’t eat them all…can you? They are too good to throw away! What about your Happy Birthday cookie cake and the pieces you didn’t use?
    Spill your secrets.

  7. Are you kidding me? You are so a professional baker!
    Actually, (that’s a funny saying around our house) I was thinking that you should make cakes professionally! We have a local lady that makes cakes…she made all our baptism cakes….you could totally do stuff like that or like…just all the cakes you do!
    Do you have business cards? You are already getting some great advertising in the blog/facebook world.
    Make some serious DOUGH (he he he) doing it! I am serious! Get a name and make some money doing this (if you aren’t already)!
    Just my two cents because I think you’re worth it!
