One of the simplest techniques for decorating with fondant is to create cut-outs. Fondant shapes can be applied to lay at on the surface of a treat or dried so that they hold their shape when used as a topper.
Roll out fondant to an even thickness using the fondant roller with purple guide rings. Dust the top of the fondant with a little cornstarch or confectioners? sugar as you roll out (this will help make neat cut-outs).
Press the cut-out into the at piece of fondant.
Pull the excess fondant away rather than pulling out the newly cut shape. This will prevent the shape from being distorted.
Attach the fondant decoration to your treat.
Hints:
Shapes can sometimes be too soft to transfer. Let the shapes set for about an hour before applying to a treat.
