I was asked to make a knitting cake for a lady who knits – a lot. So I decided to make her a basket of yarn. I stacked 8 inch cake rounds for the basket and carved them into the basket shape. The basket was then covered in marshmallow fondant which I cut into strips and weaved around the cake.
The balls of yarn were cupcakes that were covered with marshmallow fondant rolled into long strings. I brushed the basket with a lacquer made of brown food color dissolved in vodka.
wow this is cool. did you color the fondant before painting it? it look totally awsome
Fantastically well done, looks so real, congrats!
