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.
These are awesome!
And I know what you mean about the taste of fondant.
Blech!!!
So cute! And look Delish!
Those are too cute! The kids and I watch the Food Network show called Challenge and the show is always showing fondant for cakes. I’ve never used it at home and this post really made me want to. Fun, Amanda!
these are fantastic! they really do look professional. i’m finishing up the wilton fondant course and my thoughts on fondant are: it’s fun to work with, but you are right the taste is not so great – i have a MMF (marshmallow fondant) recipe i want to try out sometime too. keep up the great work – you are very inspirational!
These are adorable. Of course!
What I want to know is, how do you have TIME to make all these cool things? You’re amazing.
amanda you are so, so, talented…you make “scary” beautiful…i love your visions, creativity, attention to detail, follow through, photos, descriptions…one day to taste these treats, too…
I thought you did a fantastic job! so pretty!
ohhhhh those are sooo cute!
what a great job
very creative,
and the result is just adorable!
wow! so cool! I like how your hallowe’en treats look so pretty instead of ghoulish! yum!
