2 questions:
I'm looking for a 3" or 4" half sphere or dome or ball made of styrofoam for a cake topper. I plan on covering it with fondant and making roses on toothpicks so I can just stick it in to make a wedding cake topper. Does anyone know if there is a shop that sells these individually?
Also, how do i protect the cake/fondant underneath it? just a piece of plastic wrap or cover the bottom in fondant?
Thanks in advance!
I do this all the time. I get the white styrofoam balls either at Michaels or Hobby Lobby, cut them in half, and cover them with fondant.
For the roses, I make the rose cone out of gumpaste. Take 18 or 20 gauge floral wire, cut into the lengths you want, heat the tip with a lighter, when the tip is red hot, put it into the rose cone. Let dry overnight. the gumpaste will adhere to the wire and won't come out. Make sure you don't put the wire in to deep so it doesn't come out the top of the cone. I do all of mine a couple days before I make the roses.
Hope this helps!
