Fondant Booties Tutorial
This is a tutorial on how to make fondant baby booties which can be used as cupcake toppers or baby shower cake toppers. They are easy to make and look very cute and adorable.
INGREDIENTS:
(1) Fondant
(2) Sugar Pearls
(3) Water for gluing
(4) Color Paste (Powder/Cauliflower Blue)
TOOLS:
(1) A Scale (Optional)
(2) A Paint Brush
(3) Toothpick
(4) Small Flower Cutter
(5) Small Engraving Tool or Knife
PROCEDURE:
(1) Color your fondant with powder blue color and divide it into balls. To get balls of even sizes, use a kitchen scale to measure each ball.
(2) Smooth out the balls and shape them into corn kernel shapes with larger rounded toe caps
(3) Shape smaller white fondant into balls of equal sizes.
(4) Make a hole in the middle of the white balls using the base of your paint brush.
(5) Use some water to brush the heel end of the booties, place the white fondant on that end and drive the base of the paint brush into the booties.
(6) With the paint brush still attached, engrave a few lines into the white fondant with your engraving tool.
(7) Use a toothpick to make holes around the front of the booties.
(8) Cut out small flowers using a flower cutter and stick them to the front of the booties.
(9) Finish the design by placing blue sugar pearls in the middle of the flowers.
(10) Allow the booties to dry before using.

Good evening terry,i have a question i have searched the internet endlessly for but i cant seem to find answers.Theres this white fat i bought i was told it works for butter icing but have tried using it and its so runny and dosent hold up properly and most people i’ve asked dont even know what it is could you kindly educate me on the use of vegetablefat.plz note its not crisco and it doesn’t have oil.Thanks
Hi. I think you might be referring to Trex which is a vegetable baking fat. Unfortunately I have never worked with it before and so have no opinion about it. It is used mostly by bakers in the UK. A quick remedy for lose buttercream frosting is adding more icing sugar (although this might make it too sweet).
Thank you!!God bless you
