My last goal was a success! I wanted to create something out of fondant that looked realistic and I did. This cake was for someone who is a chef so I made a spatula and a knife out of fondant. At first I was worried about not being able to make it look real but I had to try. I had to buy more fondant and cake mix. I made my new specialty again, a two layered cake with fruit filling since I wanted to mainly focus on working with fondant. Before I began shaping the fondant I had to dye it with food coloring which is always a tiresome task. I used black to make the handles and grey to make the rest. The grey fondant was tricky because they don't actually sell grey food coloring so I had to mix very little black food coloring to make the perfect grey. Since I don't have the correct tools to cut and shape fondant I just used whatever I had around the kitchen which made it a little harder. I got a real knife and spatula so I can look at while I was working with the fondant. Although it took me multiple tries, I was really happy with the results! They really did look real, more real than I expected and I truly felt proud. I very carefully transfered the fondant spatula and knife onto the cake and decorated around it with frosting. This gave me so much more confidence and made me realize I have more talent than I give myself credit for. I will for sure continue to create more objects with fondant and hopefully be successful again. My next goal is to take a break from cakes and fondant and make different kinds of desserts.
