Nordic Ware train cake - How to use fondant icing? - Page 2

I think they are cute! What was your final method?

I would rather make 1 cake for $150, than 3 for $50 each.

The person who works for nothing will always have plenty to do!

The train looks great!! I never would have thought to mold the fondant in the pan and then place over a crumb coated cake. Did the fondant adhere to the icing ok or did you need to use omething, like water, to help it?

I have used character pans to mold fondant in, and on the outside. It helps greatly!

In the end, I rolled out fondant, dusted both sides with a bit of corn starch and pressed it into the corn starch dusted mold. I let it sit overnight. I pulled out the hardened fondant, dusted it off then colored it using edible ink pens.
I found putting the fondant on the inside was easier than the outside since if it tore on a corner you could repair using an extra piece of fondant and it didn't really show on the finished piece.

I hope this helps someone else one day who, like me, is staring blankly at that pan, wondering 'how am I going to do this???' icon_smile.gif

Thank you for the input! I too was going crazy trying to figure out how to do this, the cake lost a lot of detail when being baked . You should do a you tube video , there is nothing on there .And what there is gives no direction and the cakes aren't appealing to the eye . cyber hugs and high fives to you!!!!!

Your trains turned out cute ,Now I am learning and I am nowhere as good as I'd like to be . I have been at it for 2 years . each time I make a cake I always say its a first , the next time it will be better , I will get faster , and it will get easier . So with that said this is my very 1st train cake ;
