A simple yet effective technique using Sugar Vanilla Stencils
You will need: |
|
Edibles: |
Equipment: |
|
|
1Roll fondant to 3mm thick. Place stencil on top and roll over once or twice. This pushes the fondant up into the stencil design. |
|
2Using a small brush dust purple edible tint into the centre of the pansy. |
|
3Continue with the purple slightly into the petals. |
|
4Using a larger brush gently dust dark pink lustre dust over the petals. |
|
5Shade the petals by making some areas, particularly the outer petal, darker with more lustre dust. |
|
6Blow any excess dust o the stencil and gently lift the stencil towards you (this stops any dust falling onto your fondant). |
|
7Using your third brush, gently brush yellow lustre dust from the centre outwards. |
|
8Cut around the stencil using a round cutter. Lift using a palette knife. Gently place on top of the cupcake and tap around the edges to smooth. |
