While we're waiting for our ladybug cake to chill a little bit in the refrigerator, I'm
gonna prepare my fondant. I'm gonna use red; like red and black, and a little white for
our ladybug, and this is gonna be the base for her body. Just gonna take a little sugar
and cornstarch, and we're gonna roll our fondant out. Don't get too much sugar and cornstarch
on it, so we keep it nice and bright red, alright. Now that we've rolled it out, we're
gonna push it down just a little bit. And use our large roller, and you're gonna roll
it out and keep turning it, so you get a nice even piece of fondant. You wanna get this
about quarter of an inch thick. Alright, now that this is rolled out, I'm gonna retrieve
my ladybug and we're gonna give her some cover.
We'll put our ladybug back, take a look at it and make sure that it's, I think that's
pretty good. I don't think that we need to cut it anymore.
So what we're going to do is, we'll give it a little more icing and then we're going to
put it back in the fridge while I prepare my fondant.
You just want to add just enough. Just to give it a nice covering. You never want to
add too much icing when you're going to work with fondant because then that causes air
bubbles and you don't want to not put enough icing because then you'll see the cake through
the fondant.
So, I'm just going to go back and smoothen it out. We'll just put our ladybug's head
back here for the moment. We'll stick this into the refrigerator and while I prepare
the fondant it should chill just enough. "
