well... the castle shape will not visible if you use a "wrap" method. unless you use the "cut and paste" method, however, the c&p method finishing is not smooth.
i might be wrong, as i'm not a professional playing with fondant... juz an amateur lar
hope others mums can help u ans the Q.

Which branch did you buy from? Still got a lot of stock or not?
the one near my place out of stock liao.
You just need a little icing sugar or cornstarch for dusting. IF u using pure white.. just go ahead a roll.
But if u want to color, use a small amount and add color , blend the color well before combining with the rest to make a bigger batch. This way, the color will be more even.

Mrs Teng,
I bought from Phoon Huat at Hougang Central. Its the one in packed in plastic container, but quantity like very little, their home brand, Red Man if im not wrong. I think its about $5. I hope i bought the correct one..Heheheh..
Do u use dat brand too
Do i have to glaze the cake before i start to 'pasting' the fondant?

Opppss! guess you are going to have problem handling that fondant.. it's pretty wet leh! somemore very difficult to roll.. I started of using that and I hate it sooooo much. cos I can't emboss the fondant. Even cutting flowers with it was difficult.. it just keeps melting.. and u'll need tonnes n tonnes of icing sugar just to dry it.. somemore it sticks to the marble table.. But den again, maybe you can handle it better den me... Good luck!
Depending on what cake base you are using.. Some, eg rich fruit cake, requires glaze and a layer of marzipan over it before fondant is put on. If it's chocolate cake or dense sponge cake, you'll need light color buttercream.

Try getting Bakel, Pettinice White Icing from BIY(bake it yourself) easier to roll.. Wilton fondant not soo tasty and quite difficult to roll also. contact ~ 6100BAKE.

National Flag food picks? DIY.. print out and stick to toothpick.
Depending on what kind of gathering.. in-door or out-door? Air-con or non-air con. Cos this will help you to decide whether the food should be dry type or wet type, refreshing or spicy lor.
I normally will prepare Kimbab, and Tteokbokki, cos it's easy to pick and eat lor.. Kimbab is cool and refreshing, somemore no need to use vinegar like sushi which will as a result of prolong humidity. And Ttoekbokki sauce can also be used as a dip for the kimbab.
Another option, is chicken pie but it may be a bit dry, lor.

D cake is nutella cake. I got d receipe while buying d fondant at kitchencapers. The shop is at geylang bahru area. Mummies who stay nearby can buy their baking supplies from there. The owner's name is Gina and she's super friendly. Helped me to shop for ingredients n gave lots of pointers for me to start baking. She gives out free receipes too.. That's how i got the nutella cake receipe. Its butter cake.
Mrs Teng
Hehehhe.. Thanks lehhh.. Actually, i didnt noe d dimension of d cake. I alrdy have d pan at hme, and i didnt bake too high cos afraid not enuf fondant to cover later.. I bought d ready made fondant that u suggested, and its really like playing w playdoh.. Very fun. Thanks for the tip.
I bought d ABC and 123 cookie cutters from Phoon Huat and they didnt turn out nice at all. regret buying frm there. No 2 and 5 are the same, and ive got a feeling letter C is actually a crescent moon. Lucky managed to dig out my mum's cookie cutter which she always use for Hari Raya. Hence, my cake has only one flower shape.. Muahahahaha...

You went to BIY to get the Pettinice? That one easy to roll right? Coloring also very easy.
For alphabets, I don't cut immediately after coloring. I usually cling wrap it and leave it to set for a day den I roll it out. Let it dry for about half a day before cutting. That way, it's much much easier to remove from the cutter also.

Thanks for the info.. hehehe.. I've already bought one crate (12 boxes)from Giant a week ago when they have it for sale too! Also 3.90 for 2 boxes. NTUC's one sometimes very dry and very limited boxes. so you dun get to choose the freshes ones. I've packed them nicely and froozen liao.. Now it makes me wonder if it's worth making blueberry jams.
Need at least 3.5 Ibs of blueberries. One box is 4.4ozs.. what that means I need 13 boxes and that'll be close to $28 worth of blueberries? Forget it!

Mrs Teng, your mickey mouse cake is really nice!
Very kind of you to guide Missy on fondant
I have a doubt here too and hope you can give me some light..
Do you keep the fondant cake in room temperature for days for it to dry?
Won't the cake goes bad as I read that cream will be spreaded on the cake before decorating with fondant.
Sorry for the stupid question as I have zero knowledge on fondant cake and have been wondering how the cakes are stored.

Haha! I'm seriously an amateur baker, probably it's the interest in baking that spurs me on. On top of it, I', very inspired when I see kids or friends' delighted face when they see the cakes.
It is the fondant figurines that are required to be dry up in room temperature. Not the whole cake.
I don't keep the fondant cake in room temperature for more den a day. So usually, I bake in the afternoon and decorate that same night. The cake will usually be cut by the next day and whatever is remainder will have to go to the fridge. Cos it's not easy to manage a fondant cake which is taken out from the refrigerator. That would spoil the whole presentation of the cake cos, if the room is too humid, the fondant will melt and the poor kid will not have a bday cake to blow.
