Here are my puppies...well a puppy and a half. The purple one was digging a hole on top of the cake with chocolate sprinkles for the dirt. I used some candy bones found at the dollar store and I made a little fondant bowl with purple sanding sugar for the food.
To make these I did ALOT of research and after trial and error I found the best method for my figures.
It was to buy ready made white fondant like Wilton's or Satin Ice and add some sprinkles of tylose powder and knead very well
to make a quick gumpaste. Divide it into small blocks and wrap in plastic wrap and place in ziptop baggie. Then, you can color your fondant/gumpaste as needed. I also found the best method was to use all vegetable shortening to prevent sticking to your work surface and your hands. Some people use cornstarch or even confectioner's sugar but the shortening worked awesome for me.
To make the puppies, I used edible glue which is made in a small bowl with a lid from 2 tablespoons of warm water and 1/4 teaspoon of Tylose Powder. Gently stir with a toothpick and allow the Tylose powder to melt at least 1 hour. It will look like it is not blending but if you leave it on the counter for about an hour if you are in a hurry or in refrigerator overnight covered.
How adorable are these - I love them!!

ReplyDeleteoh & i bought the dishes at a store called tai pan, next time i go in there i will ask where they bought them from & see who the distributor is! i am sure you can get them at other stores, but im not sure! :)
ReplyDeleteThose are so so cute. I looked at the cake decorating stuff (honestly, just because it was across the isle from the ribbon at Walmart) and thought to myself how fun that would be. Then I remembered all the sewing things I need to do and want to do...so I'm going to have to enjoy other people's awesome creativity with fondant and decorating for the time being. Thanks for filling that for me!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh that is so darn cute! I would love to learn how to make some 3-d stuff! I have to perfect the art of just having a 1-d stuff first though! :)
