Winnie the Pooh and Piglet
by Heather Miller
This is my first time using fondant. I had a lot of fun with this project. I used the instructions from this website, and added my own twist. I did Piglet from a picture. His color turned out a little dark, but other than that I think they turned out cute. I will be using them on my son's first birthday cake this weekend.
Fanci-Foil
A grease-proof foil, called Fanci-Foil, used to cover a cake board will add an elegant look to your cake. Fanci-Foil is the quickest and easiest way to cover a cake board.
Simply lay the board on the paper and cut the paper in the same shape, adding 2-3 inches. Fold the edges of the paper over the board and tape in place. This is similar to wrapping a gift.
When covering a round cake board make several small cuts in the paper to the edge of the board to allow the paper to fold over the edge of the board easily.
Gluing a coordinating ribbon around the diameter of the board adds a professional finishing touch to the cake.
