Test Cake
I had extra batter from a sheet cake I'm doing so I decided it was a good time to try out my new toy for embossing fondant and see how it worked. Got the tip here on CC about using Wal Mart Vinyl fabric and it works great! This one is just for testing, so wasn't going all out on the design, but I love the cheap embossing trick!
GORGEOUS SIMPLY GORGEOUS!! i love every aspect of this cake, and i can't wait to try this out myself
I love this what a great easy way to make an elegant pattern. thanks for sharing!
Simple yet elegant cake!!! Does the fondant come off easily or does it stick to the fabric?
It came off very easily. I didn't even need to dust it with cornstarch or use Crisco. Just rolled it out, flipped the vinyl over onto the cake and peeled the fondant off.
Wow! I don't usually care for fondant but that is really pretty.
how did you do it ? I think it looks great.
Wow, I never heard of that trick. I love it. Very pretty
Wow, looks great!!! Please explain the cheap embossing trick!
I love this cake!! Did you emboss before or after you placed the fondant on the cake? You really did a neat job on this! Please pm me on the answer so I don't miss it!
Wow! That is so cool!
Great job!!! That looks sooo cool!!!

so elegant looking for just a test cake
ohhhhh that cheap vinal looks great!~ Awesome job
This looks amazing! I haven't heard of this trick, but must investigate...
Please pm me with the trick as well! It looks so elegant! :D
Thanks everyone. It's really easy to do this and cheap! I found some at Walmart in the fabric dept,, but any place that carries fabric will probably have something similar. I've seen it at Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's fabrics as well as Wal Mart. I just rolled the fondant to nearly the size I needed, then transferred it to the vinyl sheet. A couple of firm rolls and that's it! I just flipped the vinyl with the fondant still on it over the cake.
Great idea and a great cake! This is really amazing.
Soooo pretty and delicate! And I know you said it is cheap walmart vinyl, but I love the pattern you picked.
Oh, my goodness. This is such a simple tip with an incredibly beautiful effect!
