Get the plastic one from Kitchencapers, saw 2 left. Give them a call before you go lor. ask them to reserve for you. It's the same one that I bought.

hi mrs teng, i haven't do fondant before. but just want to check, for the mickey mouse head(i.e. the whole ball), is it all fondant? is it possible to use cake and then fondant on the outside? hope you could help with this. in fact, if other mummies who do fondant before, could help me with this. thanks in advance!

I used fondant for the head.. it's rather difficult to use cake to make lor! The ears may too heavy for the fondant/cake head to hold. Which also means you cake base must be very dense, otherwise, no way can a thin layer of fondant can hold the heavy ears. And when the cake is dense, dun think it's tasty lor!
My skills are not that good enuf to do a cake/fondant combi for a size of only 3 inches mickey mouse head. After the moulding and pressing, dun know what's the fate of the poor cake gonna be.
That will be too challenging.

Kendy,
nice nice cookies. My imprints always not right. If I print too hard it will stick to the dough and breaks off. If that happens, does it means that my dough texture not right. I have to keep rolling the dough, it kept coming together. dunno if u know wat I mean.

Haha! tried making cupcakes and obviously it din work out cos my cupcake papers deformed. SOO.. decided to reshape and trim the cupcakes and made into a 2 layered nini fondant cake.
Here's a cake made for a friend's granny's Birthday. Not very well made, kind of over heated the chocolate toppings, but I love the longevity peaches.

Mrs Teng, can I check with you about fondant cake.
What is the right type of cake to make that can be
covered with fondant. I know most ppl make fruit
cake or butter. Can any chocolate cake do too.
Sorry to trouble you with silly question. Just
curious. many thanks

As far as I know, chocolate can be used. Even sponge cake can be used, those high density sponge cake but usually used for top tier. Usually with such softer cake, Dowels is a must to prevent each tier from sinking into the one underneath. The other reason for using fruit and buttercake is becos the cake need not be refrigerated immediately. Cos fondant cake will 'sweat' or melt once taken out from the fridge.. so normally ppl would like to use cake base that can be stored in room temperature for about one or two days.

Mrs Teng, Thank you very much for sharing. But wat is a 'dowels'? So, does tat mean have
to bake n decorate the cake on the same day
so tat fondant won't melt or put in
the fridge. Sorry, I need to find out be4 embarking this project. Heee...thanks

It'll depends what's your cake base. Like what I've explained.. Fruit cake and Butter cakes can be baked 2 days earlier. Decorate fondant the day before and no need to put in fridge. But if you have cake base that required refrigerating, you got to do it that day. If you want to take the risk, the day before also can.
Dowels are either plastic or wooden sticks that is inserted into the cake to support the upper tier cake.
