Tie – dye fondant tutorial

Here’s a little cake I made for a little girl turning 2. Her nickname is Jing Jing and she loves Yo Gabba Gabba. “Who are they?”, you ask…. I have no idea! I had to Google them to find out what they are. So after a quick search, here’s what I found.

This is Plex 

 

This is Toodee 

 

Here’s Muno 

 

Brobee 

And last, but not least…Foofa 

The birthday girl’s Mom wanted something tie-dye, so I thought I’d try to tie-dye the fondant. Marbling fondant is easy, I’ve done that many times, here’s an easy way to tie-dye fondant.

Step one:

Choose your colors

Step two:

Roll out each color in a long “snake”

Step three:

Line the colors up side by side, then coil them together

Step four:

Grab your rolling pin and smooth out. Cover your cake.

After dusting with cornstarch it looks a little chalky

I took  a paper towel and some crisco and gave it a generous rub to give it some shine

Here’s the view from the top

Happy caking!
