Sculpting Cakes

For Jaclyn’s party at the Saddle Rack, I sculpted a boot using layered cakes and covered it with fondant. 

For those of you newbies, fondant is the sugary frosting layer that gives the perfectly smooth texture you see on professional cakes. Not sure I like the taste of fondant but I like rolling it out and decorating with it.

What I really like about fondant is that you can lay it over any shaped cake and it creates a smooth canvas. Then, you can create just about anything! 

For Jaclyn’s boot, I used a spiked roller tool to create the “stitching.” By using the premade colored fondant, it was easy to add the brown leather and black soles to the boot.

You can buy fondant at art supply stores and Walmart.  Have fun making your next cake!
