Ingredients

Gold Crackled Fondant

  • 1 ½ lbs fondant
  • 1 teaspoon confectioners glaze
  • 2 teaspoon Non-toxic gold or edible gold

Instructions

Tools Needed

  • Creme brulee torch
    Corn starch duster
    Rolling pin
    X-acto blade
    Fondant smoother
    Chilled Cake
  • Roll out fondant to half as thick as your normally do. Torch the surface of the fondant until it's brown and bubbly. Let cool. 
  • Brush the surface of the fondant with confectioners glaze. Combine your everclear and gold dust to make a paint. Paint over the glaze and let dry fully. At least 10 minutes. 
  • Use a bench scraper to loosen the fondant from the table and then using a rolling pin, roll out your fondant to the desired thickness. The more you roll, the thicker the cracks will be. I like thinner cracks. 
  • Cover your cake in one piece as you would normally or panel to keep the texture more intact.
