Making Fondant Hearts for Cakes

Video Transcript

"Okay, we can make a border on the edge of our cake, and there's a couple of ways to do it. In this way, I'm going to take a very small cookie cutter, and I'm going to cut lots of little hearts out of different colors. Now you can use a knife or a toothpick to poke any shapes out of a cookie cutter. And if you make lots and lots, just roll out the different colors and make lots of the same shape. And then you can use it to put repeat all the way around the cake, and you can use that to cover the border. If you made it a little messy on the side, you can use it cover up your mistakes. And also you can use it to add color, and just a pretty design to your cake. And I'll show you up here. So we'll put our little hearts all around the border of the cake. Now if they're not sticking, you can add just a tiny amount of water along the edge, and then add... then put the fondant shapes onto the cake - if you find that they're not sticking well."
