How to Make Fondant Frills - Part 1

[MsSinger991]

I dont have the cutter thing but i really want to make this and i dont think i can buy it but i do have scallop sissors do you think i could use that

@MsSinger991 I'm not sure if scallop scissors would work. You could give it a try and let me know how it goes :)

So adding tylose powder to the fondant for frilling is still edible?

[15152278]

@MrsVanAs I didn't actually add tylose powder to the fondant for frilling. I add tylose powder to fondant when making figurines so that it sets faster and harder. You can still eat fondant with added tylose but it would be hard.

where'd you get that mat?

Hi there just want to know wat the difference between gum paste n fondant? Thnx

[15152278]

@josephc100279 Gumpaste dries faster and harder so it's used to make figurines whereas fondant is used to cover cakes. You can make a substitute for gumpaste by adding tylose powder to fondant.

Garret Frill Maker Metal Cutter Sugarcraft Art ..... It cuts a frill of about 1" and to get a strip of about 12..... This should be a pretty good size right??? I need it to do a 8 or 9inch cake..... Thanks

[15152278]

That should work. You just need to keep adding more strips to fit the size of the cake. Happy frilling!

[Kelloggcole]

Great Job.... I think I might try it!!  I need to get the frill cutter....

where could i find that dough roller, the white one,? i have a wood one, but i want a white plastic one hehe

[15152278]

You should find white non stick rolling pins (of varying sizes) at any cake decorating store or online cake deco store -just google. (I live in Australia)

[fjoann]

oohh i live in california, oh well thank you very much, i'm gonna try a cake store, maybe they sell them

[shelldavelandreth]

You can also use a small piece of pvc pipe! I had some that I used on a cake that I did and I use it. Works like a charm!

Thanks for this tutorial as well. You and Nivia now convinced me to get one of those cutters.

[15152278]

You're welcome. I'm sure you'll find some use for the cutter in your marvellous cake designs:)

You should find it on one of the online cake decorating stores in the USA. (I bought mine in Australia, so that won't help you.)

[BirdOfParadise777]

Sometimes it just helps so much to see a visual:)

Thank you:)
