Apple For A Teacher
This was a fairly easy cake to make. I stacked three 8 inch round cake and carved to create more of an apple shape. I decide to cover this cake with fondant,but you can easily cover in red buttercream. I used a red gel food color mixed with vanilla extract and painted onto the fondant. This is what creates a bright red color. The stem, worm and leaf were all made out of fondant.
OMG! how darling! I love the painting idea, what are the ratios?
cute
Let's see if I had to guess, the ratio would be 2 part vanilla to 1 part red food coloring. But play with it. with certain projects I find that I use the vanilla to wet the brush and just dip into the gel food coloring or vice a versa.
That's a great effect! It looks like real apple peel!
I need to make a strawberry cake and this is just the inspiration I needed- thanks!
