Recycled Mini's
These are all chocolate cake frosted with a buttercream undercoat and marshmallow fondant on top. This is my second attempt at miniature cakes and my second attempt at mmf. Please let me know what you think. I still have a lot of practicing to do.
I love 'em. Very cute. I use shortening on my mat when I'm rolling my fondant so I don't get the sugar marks...
I think you're off to a great start! I'm still not very confident with MMF...you're right, it takes practice. Once you get more comfortable w/ it, you will be able to use less sugar for dusting....and you can also use a small pastry brush, or even craft paint brushes (I use makeup brushes that I bought specifically for cake decorating), to brush some of the sugar away from the finished product. They are decorated beautifully! Congrats!
