Important Notes:
- The fondant that is used EXCLUDING in covering of cupcakes, has been mixed with gumpaste 3:1 (3 part fondant and 1 part gumpaste), you can use Gum-tex or Tylose instead of gumpaste.
- After mixing colors in fondant, leave it to rest overnight or for 24 hours.
- Use cornflour for dusting your work area and also for dipping your cutters before using them.
- Freeze cupcakes for about an hour after icing.
- When drying the fondant pieces, keep them on cornflour dusted plates or trays.
- When making roses, let the bud dry completely before covering with petals. And then let each ring of petals dry after pasting to bud. Otherwise the rose will fall apart.
- Roll fondant 1/16 inch thick for covering the cupcakes and 1/8 inch thick for everything else.
