Title: Easy Fondant Cake Boss
Ingredients:
– 1 pre-baked cake of your choice
– 1 batch of homemade or store-bought fondant
– Food coloring (optional)
– Confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)
– Cornstarch (for dusting)
Instructions:
1. Make sure your pre-baked cake has completely cooled before starting the fondant decoration process. You can bake your own cake or use a store-bought one for convenience.
2. Roll out your fondant on a clean, smooth surface dusted with a mixture of confectioners’ sugar and cornstarch to prevent sticking. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch for an easy-to-work-with consistency.
3. Gently lift the rolled-out fondant using a rolling pin and drape it over your cake. Smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles with your hands, starting from the top and working your way down the sides of the cake.
4. Trim any excess fondant from the bottom of the cake using a sharp knife for a clean finish.
5. If desired, add food coloring to small portions of fondant to create different colors for decorations. Knead the coloring into the fondant until evenly distributed.
6. Let your creativity shine by using cookie cutters, silicone molds, or shaping the fondant by hand to create decorative elements like flowers, bows, or geometric designs.
7. Attach your fondant decorations to the cake by lightly brushing the back of each piece with a small amount of water. This will act as “glue” to hold the decorations in place.
8. Step back and admire your masterpiece! Your Easy Fondant Cake Boss is ready to steal the show at your next gathering. Don’t be surprised if your guests ask where you ordered such a professionally decorated cake!
