Things You'll Need:
- Fondant Plastic wrap Cornstarch Rolling pin Cookie cutters Sharp thin knife
-
Step 1
Determine the amount of fondant you need for the decorations you will be making. Cover it with plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container until ready to use.
-
Step 2
Prepare the fondant for rolling by kneading it on a surface lightly dusted in cornstarch. Knead the fondant until it becomes shiny and is soft like play dough. If it is sticky, add a little cornstarch.
-
Step 3
Check the readiness of the fondant. Make a small fondant ball and drop it on your work area. It should spread slightly but keep its shape.
-
Step 4
Sprinkle sifted cornstarch on your work area. Use the rolling pin to roll out the fondant to desired thickness, adding cornstarch to the rolling pin as needed.
-
Step 5
Use cookie cutters dusted in cornstarch to cut out shapes and decorations. If you are good at freehand, you may also use a sharp thin knife. To stick two pieces of fondant together, make an indentation on one piece of fondant no bigger than the adhering piece and press the pieces together.
