Looking to add a "Fur" effect to a fondant covered cake,
I dont want to pipe it.
Using the extruder for the hair , so i would rather use a different technique for the fur on the body.
Thinking of using a sponge effect but havnt tried this theroy yet.
Anyone else have any suggestions?

Thankyou

just wonderins what is the reason for the fur, an animal cake,

For Elmo's fur i usedthe grass tip. It worked great. HTH

i used the star tip on my elmo cake, I just pulled it up a little more than normal,

Melt fondant and then add some cornflakes. I made a tree out of it on my last cake and you can achieve a fur look if done correctly.

Short hair? Colored coconut?

Elisa Strauss did a dog on a TV special. She snipped the fondant with small, sharp scissors to make amazing fur.

Check out this tutorial/video- looks like a great way to make fur(and not too hard, either)!

Amazing video! Thank you for posting!

In Debbie Brown's book she suggests using the star tip and sticking it on your finger and gouging the fondant with it - for short hair or grass.

My gosh that dog cake was awesome. I'll have to try that the next time I have to do fur.
