You don't have to be very skilled to create this pretty fondant rose . You can decorate cakes and cupcakes with it . Surely you leave everyone with their mouths open.
Fondant is a fondant similar to plasticine but edible. It is very elastic and moldable, which allows it to be used for countless decorative motifs.
Tricks so that the fondant does not resist you
- We have used fondant already colored because it is much more comfortable and saves you time and work. But if you prefer, you can also dye it yourself. In that case, it is best to use gel or cream colorants.
- If the fondant sticks to you, you can use cornstarch. Put it inside a piece of new stocking and tie a knot. Then you just have to sprinkle the fondant with it. Be careful not to sprinkle too much cornstarch because the fondant could dry out and lose elasticity.
- So that it does not stick to your hands when you work with it, spread your hands well with vegetable shortening.
- The ideal thing to work with the fondant is that it is at room temperature. If it is very cold it will crack easily, but if it is very hot, it will be very soft and it will be very difficult to shape it.
- Once you've shaped the fondant roses, you should let them sit for at least a couple of hours in a cool, dry place. So that they are not damaged, you can place them inside an egg cup or ice bucket. That way you prevent them from receiving a blow and end up deforming. Don't cover them.
- If you have excess fondant, roll it into a ball and store it in an airtight container or a tightly sealed plastic bag. You should not give it air, otherwise it will dry out. You can also freeze it since its properties are not altered.
- To stick the petals a little water is usually enough, but if you need a stronger or thicker "glue" you can resort to mixing paste paste with water or CMC "Gum traganto" powders also with water.
Did you know?
The word "fondant" comes from French and means "that melts", which refers to its highly moldable texture. The degree of humidity in each house, if the heating is on or not, if there is air conditioning … greatly affect the fondant. So if you buy ready-made fondant, it is advisable to try different brands until you find the one that best suits you.
