Making fondant folds and coating the cake with folds.
Making instructions. In the picture is a smaller dummy cake that serves me as existing for a flower arrangement, the procedure is the same when working with the cake.
Preparation steps
- Roll out the fondant first with an ordinary rolling pin and then roll with a rolling pin with the desired sara. Coat the cake board with fondant. If you are going to use a real cake, then it is best to cut a hole for the cake in the middle.
- Roll out the fondant with a plain rolling pin and coat the cake or dummy cake, smooth well and then place on the prepared cake board.
- Then thinly roll out the fondant, cut a rectangle and cross with a rolling pin with a saris or press the impression mat. If you don’t have such tools, you can use a plastic lace tablecloth, just put it over and roll over with a rolling pin. Fix the edges and then make the folds. The folds are made by placing an alternating roller shape (there are food sticks in the picture, you can use chopsticks, anything that is round and long enough) one up and one down and then you just squeeze them by hand to be tightly packed next to each other, like this Leave it to stand for a while so that the folds harden, then take out the sticks, collect the folds at the top, moisten the fondant on the cake with a brush and glue the folds. It is important that one end of the part with the folds remains flat, where you will glue the next so that the joint is hidden.
- When switching the next part, glue the first fold over the flat part from the previous folds, like this, and so on until you fill everything with folds like this, just carefully with the last joint, it is the hardest to camouflage.
- Finally, cover the middle where you pressed the folds with something of your choice, in the picture the fondant is spread with another sar and a fondant lace is glued on the edges, like this
