Using a toothpick make indents all around the edge. Spiders - Make a circle out of black fondant. Make long red triangles and adhere four of them with points meeting in the center. Cut more rounded squares in half and put four on each side of each balloon.Ĭandy - Make a ball with yellow fondant and press it down to make flat sides. Using dark blue fondant make rounded squares and add to the center. Add a small triangle to one of the sides for the air spout. Edge the stars with the white to give them detail and add white dots.īalloons - using light blue fondant make a circle that is somewhat rounded and not completely flat. Make a small thin white shake and press it down flat. I shaped them with my fingers since I don't have a cookie cutter and rounded the points. Stars - If you have a star cookie cutter that is the right size it would be great for this. Make four wide rounded triangles and put them underneath the top piece to make his teeth. Make two cubes and stick them on the sides to make his back legs. You will have to shape them and smooth out the fondant where you cut. Using a table knife cut a square out of the front to make his front legs. To make the bottom of Om Nom start with another half sphere. Make two tiny black dots to complete the eyes. Get the shape you want and again stick the pieces on with a dab of water. For his eyes I just pressed out some white fondant but you could roll it with a rolling pin if you want. Make a small little snake shape, rounded at the end for the top of his head. I started with a basic half sphere and then made the top of his head a little more pointed and indented the bottom part so his head would sit well on the base or bottom half of his body. Om Nom - I decided after Om Nom was complete to enter this cake and start taking pictures so I don't have good pictures of the process to make him.
Cut the rope cool math how to#
I will try to briefly explain how to make each character/design:
Once they sit on the frosting a while they get soft again so don't worry about having crispy pieces on your cake! When I cut out the green circles I left them out for a while so they were stiff and easier to work with. If you need very thin pieces roll out fondant between pieces of waxed paper coating the fondant lightly with cornstarch so it doesn't stick. Use a tiny bit of water to get pieces to stick to one another. Use your fingers to smooth out the fondant making sure there are no visible cracks. A knife, toothpicks, ceramic tools (clean please), cups, glasses, cookie cutters, etc. The hard part is sculpting characters and decorations you need. Optional, of course but you might surprise yourself. I understand that a color might be perfect so don't change it if you don't have to, but it's fun to experiment and get some new colors that you've never tried. I would recommend this when using food coloring just so it's not so typical. The paint should be mixed in some way with another color. Years ago in painting class I was told to never use the paint right out of the tube. The color just isn't as vibrant in my opinion. I have tried using the cheap liquid drop version with less luck. I like using Wilton icing colors because the color turns out so rich. Add food coloring of your choice and knead until the color is uniform throughout. To make this cake you will need the following:īuttercream frosting - white, green and blueĬake board/cardboard for putting the cake on All of the dots and characters on this cake are made using store bought fondant. With that said, there is no better way to create characters and/or graphic decorations than to use fondant. So, in an attempt to satisfy my little birthday boy I tried my best to smooth out buttercream frosting instead of using fondant. Now, if you don't have kids you might not think this is a big deal but when they don't like the taste of fondant and you have to take it off of their cake and all the frosting goes with it.well, there are many, many unwanted tears to deal with! The cake tastes great but the fondant has to be picked off and thrown away. Mainly because it tastes horrible! I have bought fondant and made (marshmallow) fondant from scratch with the same outcome. There are many beautiful and amazing cakes out there that have been covered/decorated with fondant. Both of my boys love Cut the Rope so for my son's third birthday he decided he wanted a cake with Om Nom - his favorite character, of course!
"Deliver candy to Om Nom!" I hear this phrase all the time.
