My Own Little Fairy Tale Characters!

There are so many things that can be done with sugar in terms of cake decorating; the more I learn, the more excited I get! One of my favorite things to do is fondant/gumpaste figurines. I've learned that modeling chocolate can be used as well but I have not had much luck making modeling chocolate. I will work on the modeling chocolate technique some more and will eventually include it in my projects. Rice Krispies are also very good to use as a base in your projects.

My new 'favorite' thing to do is creating cake backdrops. I absolutely love the idea of using a cake backdrop. A backdrop just adds so much dimension to a cake. 'Emily Made A Wish' has done some amazing cakes with backdrops and she also has a tutorial which can be found here.

Here's a cake backdop that I made:

Perfect day for an outing; all dressed up!

Two cake drums were covered with white fondant to create this backdrop. The fondant was allowed to dry and then painted with edible food coloring mixed with vodka.

The bottoms/bases for the ladies were made from rice krispies. The attires and the accessories were made with fondant.

Thanks for visiting today! Don't forget to share pics of your edible 'kreations'. Till next time, "Happy Baking!" 

I look forward to reading your comments!
