I have made this Color flow fondant plaque over the last two days. It is going to be put on a cake for my daughters birthday. I knew that it had to be a motif from Littlest pet shop because she is crazy with those things. I have more photos of the procedure in the cake gallery, look under “Cake projects”.

Happy Caking

    Hi Louise -

    Just saw this post searching for RI plaques and I think your site is great!

    What’s the biggest size plaque you’ve made? I’m a newbie at this – infact, I’ve never made one before – but I’d like to make an A3 size plaque for my son’s birthday cake. How many days do you think it would take to dry?

    Thank you! ..by the way – er du dansker? =)

      Hi Melinda,

      If you roll the fondant into about 4-5mm I would let it dry for 3-4 days before staring decorating it. It will dry/harden faster if you add a little bit of tylo powder to the fondant. Allow it to dry 3 days after decoration.

      Yep! Jeg er dansker :-)

    Chloe: I add more layers of royal icing when the first layer is dry.

    No, unless you want to cut it out from rolled fondant.

    Its rolled fondant.

    The cake’s amazing!!!
    I’m trying to make it for my sister’s birthday as she loves littleest pet shop, so heres a few questions.

    *How do you make the mane and tail without it flowing over the sides?

    *Is there any other types of icing that I can use instead of royal icing because i heard that it has egg in it?

    *What is the blue base made out of?

    Thanks :) xxx
