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 🙂

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? =)

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

Its rolled fondant.

*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

Just have to clear things out at first I called it “sugar plaque” but it is a “fondant plaque” because the plaque is made of rolled fondant.

Remember that you can see more photos of hoe I made it in my cake gallery.

Ok and to the questions:

Jackie: I would say that color flow and the thinned royal icing with drops of water is the samething a liquid icing. I know Wilton has color flow powder but you can just as good use royal icing thinned with water.

Beth Norman: You will find my email at the top (contact) Many use different kinds of stamps to emboss the fondant with. A good thing is to lightly dust you stamps with cornstarch to prevent it from sticking to the fondant.
For the tutorial just make it. I am sure it will be good:-)

Amy from NY: yes just RI thinned with water.

Veronica: Not at all 🙂

Lilybird: Jeps your right its fondant. I did not add any drying agent to it. I thinkit was about 3-4mm thick. But I did add it on a cake card. So that she could save it;-)
