The vodka will evaporate faster than water and leave the coloring. Tip: Vodka works better than water to paint fondant and gum paste. Next, I took some black gel coloring and added it to vodka. I took a white piece of fondant and rolled it out and cut a rectangle shape out. Make the CardĪnother piece to make out of fondant is the card that sits on the Mad Hatters hat that says 10/6. I cut the ends to the length I wanted at a diagonal cut just like you would actual ribbon. Once all three pink strips were around the Alice in Wonderland cake, I then took all the dangling ends and twisted them around each other then I left about 3 inches laying on the brim of the hat. Finally, I added the strip slighter higher than the second strip for a layered look.
Next, I added the next strip around the hat using the same technique but adding it a little higher up so that the first strip is visible below the second strip. I brushed on a little water and gently pressed the pink ribbon to adhere it to the green hat. I took a food paintbrush and dipped it in some water. Leaving about 5 inches dangling from both ends of the strips. Approximately 2 inches wide and long enough to go all the way around the cake with plenty of extra at the end to twist together and still have a few inches to lay on the brim of the hat.įirst, you take one of the pink strips and start to attach it to the cake. To add the pink ribbon around the hat, I rolled the pink fondant out and then cut three strips out. I took a couple of skewers and placed them under the brim in a couple of places around the hat so it would dry leaving some curves to the brim. Next, I took a long rectangle piece of the green fondant and made the brim of the hat around the bottom of the cake. (At least that’s what I told myself…) In the end, that seam from the top and sides coming together ended up sinking lower than I wanted. Therefore, because of my fear, I decided to do one piece around the side of the cake and another one on top. I need to take control of this pesky fondant! I have issues with getting it to cover the entire cake and be one solid smooth piece. Now my first error was being afraid to use one piece to cover the entire cake. Next, I took the cake out of the fridge and rolled out the fondant. The finished cake before transporting to the party. You can always add but you can’t take it away. Tip: Add a little color at a time to get the desired color you want. I added pink gel coloring to white fondant and a little purple as well.
This caused the green to turn the darker shade of green that the hat is in the movie.Īnother fondant color I was going to need was a Victorian pink for the ribbon part around the hat. After the green is mixed in pretty well, I then took some pre-made black fondant and added it to the green. I had purchased pre-made white fondant and started to add green gel coloring. The next step for this Mad Hatter cake is color the fondant. Once the cake was frosted, I then put the cake in the fridge to harden the buttercream. To make sure the layers stayed together, I added some wooden supports inside the cake. Yes, even though you will be adding fondant, you still need a thin layer of buttercream frosting. Round cake pans are the way to go to start your top hat shape. One that can hold up the weight of the fondant. After having a disaster by the next morning, I learned that you need to use a batter that makes a denser cake. Then let it cool before you start frosting. I suppose if I would attempt it more often, maybe we could be friends. As I have mentioned in my other cake posts, fondant and I are not friends… However, I didn’t see how I could use buttercream frosting and still get the result I was wanting.
