I had a hard time creating these designs since the weather was weird. Because of the weather, I learned that there are several ways to treat fondant, which is highly dependent on the weather. On hot summer days, you need to have it air dried for the fondant to harden. When it's raining all day you can't do the same thing as it will melt (this puzzles me :-/). So it has to be stored in an airtight container if you want it to harden.
I had to redo all the designs since the first one I made earlier melted. I have also put a lot of fondant in these goodies since I made a huge batch and I don't want them to stay in my kitchen. But I realized after that I should have left something for my cream puffs, especially when our client commented that the fondant was too sweet. Of course it is sweet, it is made up of sugar icing! LOL! Thin covering should be enough next time. I hope there will be a next time. :D
The baby booties were the superstar, but I think the "rubber" duckies are cute too!
Don't you think so?
The best thing about this hobby is that you can literally eat your way out of a bad situation! That is, when the outcome of the design doesn't satisfy your criteria and you start getting a little frustrated. You can simply eat it (thankfully it doesn't happen often, otherwise I'd have bigger problem loosing weight). How can you not feel good again once you tasted the fondant's sweetness? ;)
