cake stones

These are great!! Are they solid cake inside or more like cake balls?

Cher, Thanks! It's cake balls. I used the white almond sour cream cake recipe and a hazelnut coffee creamer to bind it. :)

Wow! They look so real! Do you have a picture of one cut open? I would love to see it. Fantastic work and great idea!

Sure, Wing...I'll post one here in a second. :)

Amazing great job! :) 8

Fabulous idea, and really well executed! Did you cover them with chocolate or fondant?

FACS, It is white chocolate fondant. I think I *might* try dipping them in a thin coat of chocolate first next time, to make them firmer. I think even with a thin coat of chocolate, I would be able to form the cake into a stone shape well enough. Next time I have trimmings I will try it out.They are firm now, but leave dents when I pick them up. A few of them got ruined because I rolled the fondant too thin, too. But to cover them, I just rolled out a piece about 5 to 8 inches big depending on what I ...

But to cover them, I just rolled out a piece about 5 to 8 inches big depending on what size I wanted, then wrapped the cake, puckered all the ends together, then sliced them off and smoothed them out. Used cloves to stamp texture on some, and a bunched up plastic wrapper, too.

They are incredible!! So realistic and well done! (First I thought they were real stones to be used as decorations :) and was thinking 'where is the cake'?...)

Thanks! I went back and edited the description on this so people know the stones ARE the cake.

Awesome! Love these.
