re: Dragon Boat head for Mark

Thanks Speedy92, I’m always happy to share anything I know, because more than likely someone has shared it with me first! :) I added double the amount of tylose than I usually would then I actually rolled the fondant much thicker than I normally would. let the cut out shapes sit for about 10 mins on a piece of paper towels as I find baking paper slows the drying. Then I gently pushed a thin wire into each end of the main blue piece. I let that sit for another 10mins and then while it was still flexible, put water along the base and pushed it into the cake! I’ve never done it this way before, I usually let all the pieces dry first, but I knew it had to bend to the contour of the cake. It stayed surprisingly well, but to add stability, I then attached the black pieces to it to anchor it in place. To my surprise they were rock-solid! I was really learning as I go…or as I like to say, flying by the seat of my pants! ;) Hope that helps :) xxx
