In a couple of days I plan to start making my very first home-made Christmas cake. I'm a little late on starting it..so says Delia anyways...but I've got it all planned :)
But anyway, today I bought some pre-made (cheating I know) fondant icing & I decided to have a go at making some fondant decorations that can go on top of cakes to make them look nice.
I'd never made anything with fondant before...only ate it on shop bought cakes, but I keep seeing lovely decorations being made out of it on other people's sites, so I thought I'd give it a go.
Here are the results:
I didn't really know what I was doing really, & I don't think I had all the right equipment...I just used a sharp knife & scissors to cut the icing.
It got a bit tricky though, so I just kept to making simple shapes.
I plan on buying some metal cutters in the shape of holly leaves & such, so I can decorate my Christmas cake when I (eventually) make it :)
