Greetings from Atlanta! My partner, Don Schoner, and I both work for the College of Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology, and we also make cakes for fun. One of the benefactors (and a major donor) of the college is a huge fan of model trains. He hosted an awards banquet to bestow scholarships to worthy Ph.D. candidates. We were asked to create this cake, a train coming out of a tunnel. The train was yellow cake and the tunnel was chocolate cake. Both were covered in fondant, and the trees were cereal treats covered in royal icing. Our cakes are becoming famous around Georgia Tech, and I rank us as "skilled amateurs". Thanks for your inspiring and helpful site. Sincerely, Bobby Strickland

Thank you, Bobby and Don, for sharing your fabulous cake with us!!! And to all our readers...

2 Dimensional Fondant Flowers


2 Dimensional Fondant Flowers



Tulips

Take two shades of pink fondant, roll into sausages and twist together,
and mash together slightly.

Roll out thinly, and cut three petals with a rose petal cutter.

Cut a small V, using the v shaped end of your rose cutter,
on one petal ( as shown)

Creating the center of the tulip.
Press into an impression mat, then apply the center petal on the end of your
Piped or fondant green stem.

Press the other two petals into the impression mat and
place on each side of Tulip center. (as shown)



Trumpet flower

Take a small ball of lilac or pink fondant.
Press between thumb and forefinger as shown.

Using your ball tool, flatten end
of gumpaste and thin edges.

Roll pinched end of flower into a long funnel,
fold sides to back and roll the thinned
Edge over the front, creating a trumpet flower.

Apply on greenery on Cake.

Repeat the process in a lighter shade of pink or lilac and
Place on top of the first trumpet flower.
