My Project

My students love to design cakes and cookies. So far they have only made cakes and cookies with buttercream frosting. They have not had the opportunity to practice making 3-D figurines using fondant or gel paste.

Providing students a supply of colorful fondant will enable them to use their creativity to create beautiful cake toppers and cake side designs.

Fondant is a lot like clay, but tastes much better. It is very relaxing to shape it and a lot of fun to use it for enhancing the appearance of desserts.
