This method is so simple. It takes time if you have big surface but it’s so fun…
You can use it making dragon dinosaur lizard iguana gecko turtle snake any reptiles or leather effect texture like handbag. On a mermaid tail could be so nice too.
You need:
- straw ( best If you have 3 different sizes to achieve more realistic effect)
- Fondant or 1/2 fondant with 1/2 gumpaste (I prefer use yellow or green one for the basic color)
- Edible color dusts (I used matte and luster also)
- Roll out the fondant if it’s neccessery. If your cake or figurine already covered just take the straws and plush it all over until you are done. Try to press them near each other. Pushing the end of the straw you will have oval form also.
2. Your sugar paste is ready to be colored.
I used
- Matte Orange
- Luster Dark blue (corn flower blue)
- Luster green
- Matte green
- Luster purple
- Dark Gold
I started with orange and added the other colors around it. In the end, I covered the entire surface with shiny light green powder.
That’s it-so simple. You can also cut out round pieces to cover the top of cupcakes.
Enjoy your creation 😊
