Smart Tips For Beginning To Use Fondant Tools

By Selena Schlesinger


One of the nicest things about fondant tools is that there are hundreds of them. This makes for creative decorating. Your ideas can be put into place with the right tool, and if you really are not sure of what to create, the tools can inspire you as well.

Though each tool purchased separately is a big investment, collecting sets will give you bargains that should help you to branch out more quickly. Investing in sets will allow you to create intricate work with the added advantage of stretching your money over more projects. Fondants are specialty icings which basically use techniques such as folding, rolling, cutting, stacking, imprinting and molding. For this reason, candy making equipment is also good to collect. Some candies are made from the same material, so the embossing plates, molds, rollers and imprint tools of this craft work well, too.

Stretching your decorating budget using discount cake decorating supplies is a good idea. Look at online supply stores for ready to use fondants in different colors and flavors. These are excellent products that will save you time and money. There is usually a color assortment in vanilla, chocolate, and a premium wedding cake butter cream for sale. Check each website for tool assortments, too. The reduced prices will allow you to buy something nice. You might even find a bundled package of fondants and basic tools.

Anything that will divide or score your fondant is called a cutter. Some are like scissors or knives. Others are more like cookie cutters. There are many that are basically candy molds that you use to push into the fondants and pull a shape out.

Colorful icing writers and markers will add a lot of fun to your creative designs. Simply draw your ideas right onto the cake to make pictures, designs, patterns, names and whatever else you might dream up. The bright hues are very saturated with edible pigment so there is no worry about eating them. These are a trendy take on traditional food coloring and will definitely attract attention.

Building a specialty cake with fondants can be a playful time. Beginners can experiment with lots of techniques and learn to build solid cake structures. The many variations of colors and textures possible with fondants allows new bakers to put together a very nice product for their practice efforts.

Collecting a large assortment of useful fondant tools will shape your baking career in ways that you might not have expected. The challenge of learning to use them is well worth the time spent. You can make great cakes that will taste and look wonderful. Ultimately, the satisfaction of mastering new techniques and completing your decorating visions will be a nice personal reward that may result in a profitable business.
