Easy cake decoration idea for birthday cakes
You need:
- Fondant paste or fondant mix with gumpaste 50-50 ratio. White color
- Yellow or gold fondant
- Polystyrene balls
- Edible blue and gold coloring powder
- Paint brush
- Some water
- Star cutters
1. Roll out the dough. I used a fondant/gum paste mix. It is easier to work with because of its elasticity. Also, fondant dries faster, so you have less time for shaping.
2. Apply some water to the paste to gently stick the balls together. You can use edible glue, but water works well too.
3. Close the fondant around the balls. Cut off any excess paste on the backside, and gently shape the front with your fingers until you achieve the desired shape.
Color the gaps lightly to achieve pale blue color.
4. Cut out as many stars as you want, paint them with gold dust to make the stars shine. Attach them with water.
I used softer polystyrene balls because I wanted a flatter surface this time. If you prefer perfect round forms, choose hard polystyrene.
Have some fun making foamy clouds.
