Minjina Kuhinjica - Torta i figurice od fondana - Cake and decorations made from fondant

Ostala sam vam dužna slike postupka kako sam dekorisala ovu prolećnu torticu.

Za one koji ne znaju, fondan sam napravila po ovom receptu.

Fondan sam podelila na pola. U jednu polovinu sam dodala zelenu boju i dobro umesila rukama. Koristila sam wilton boje u gelu, ali pošto kod nas nema da se kupi ova boje,stavite boje u prahu (nemojte tečne). Na radnu površinu stavite šećer u prahu,a onda zeleni fondan. Uz pomoć oklagije razvite koru da bude šira nego što je torta. Ako imate neku plastičnu cev, ona će odlično da vam posluži za razvijanje kore umesto oklagije. Na plastičnu cev se fondan manje lepi nego za drvenu oklagiju. Tortu sam premazala sa buter kremom pa preko njega stavila razvučeni fondan. Višak fondana sam isekla nožem.
Butter krem:

120 gr putera
160 gr šećera u prahu
2 kašike mleka

Ostatak fondana sam obojila u razne boje.
Ovako sam napravila pužiće :)

Telo od pužića.

Kućica(dužina oko 30 cm)

Što se tiče cveta, htela sam da mi drška bude debela,ali vi je možete napraviti i tanju. Cvećarsku žicu isecite na određenu dužinu(da bude 2 cm duža u odnosu na visinu torte) pa je obložite sa tamno zelenim fondanom. Od roze fondana napravite manju kuglicu i razvucite je kao na slici.

Obavite oko jednog kraja drške.

Latica
Donji deo latice uz pomoć četkice premažite sa vodom da se bolje zalepi. Pravite latice i stavljajte ih u krug sve dok mislite da treba :) Cvet sam na kraju premazala sa sedefastom bojom da malo ima sjaj. List sam napravila sa modlicom u obliku srca i malo sa nožem napravila žilice.

Ove sitne delova sam razlačica na debljoj i jačoj kesi. Svaku kuglicu za gusenicu sam malo premazala sa vodom da se zalepi za drugu kuglicu. Rogovi su bili od čačkalica.
Kada sam stavljala cvet,strana koja ide uz tortu je premazana sa vodom. Onih 2 cm viška od drške sam podvukla pod tortu da budem sigurna da cvet neće da mi padne :)))
Crne delove(tufne na bubamari,rogove,oči itd) sam uradila uz pomoć crne boje i četkice.

Ako se setim još nešto, dopisaću :)

Cake and decorations made from fondant

Some photos and instructions on how to decorate this spring cake.

For those who don’t know I made fondant from this recipe

I divided fondant in half. I added green color in one part and knead it until it was a workable consistency. I used Wilton color gels, but since you can’t buy these colors here you may use powdered colors (don’t use liquid kind). Lightly dust your smooth work surface and your rolling pin with confectioner's sugar to prevent sticking. Roll out fondant sized to your cake. To keep fondant from sticking, lift and move as you roll. Add more confectioner's sugar if needed.

If you have a plastic pipe you may use it to roll fondant instead of rolling pin. Fondant sticks less on plastic then it does on a rolling pin. Lightly cover cake with butter cream icing. Gently lift fondant over rolling pin and position on cake. Trim off excess fondant using a spatula or sharp knife.

Butter cream:

120 gr of butter
160 gr of powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of milk

I colored rest of the fondant in different colors. This is how I made snails.

Body of a snail.

Shell (length around 30 cm)

As for the flowers, I wanted to have a thick handle, but you can create thinner. Cut flowers wire to a lengths that is 2 cm longer in relation to the height of the cake and overlaid with green fondant. From pink fondant create smaller chip (ball) and stretch like in the picture.

Wrap it around one side of the handle.

Petal

Brush bottom of petal with some water to stick. Keep making petals and keep putting them in circle till you think it’s enough. Brush each petal with pearly luster color to get some shine. I made leaf with cutter in shape of heart and with knife I made leaf venation. For smaller pieces I have used thick bag to stretch fondant on. I brushed each bead for caterpillar with some water so that they will stick better onto each other. Horns were made from toothpick. When I was placing flowers onto cake, I brushed each side that was going on the cake with some water. 2 cm of excess from flower handles I tucked under the cake to make sure those flowers would not fall down.

Black parts (the dotted ladybug, horns, eyes, etc) you can accomplish this with black color and little brush.

If I remember anything else I will let you know :)
