How to Make a Fondant Rainbow Cake Topper

[Music] hi and welcome I'm Sharon from Sharon we Creations so today I'm going to show you how we're going to make this rainbow topper I've got my fondant pre-colored here so here are the colors that I'm using so I am just using fondant if you find um you're in a little bit of a hurry or if you are a bit worried about the stability of your Rainbow you can use gumpaste it's totally up to you so let's start with the smallest one first I've got a bit of pink just going to knead it so it's nice and [Music] pliable and then we're going to start rolling it [Music] out I start rolling it with my hands and then I use the fondant smoother is to run along [Music] it so if you have a clay extruder certainly you can use that until you get the desired thickness so you can see it's a little bit thinner here so I'm just going to run that [Music] down if you find that your fondant rope here is slipping as you try and rub it you can add a little bit of water here to kind of anchor it in place but this one's this one's fine so just going to get my circle Cutters and work out how [Music] big I want the rainbow to be so this this is a good size for me okay so I'm just going to Loop that around turn that around so you can see so I'll Loop that around and then I'm going to cut about [Music] halfway and you can leave one of these um so you can use it as a reference so let's turn that back around if you're worried about that sticking just put a bit of corn flour put it there so that's our reference got our next color so that's about as thick as I I want it let's bring that back let's get a bit of water it's just water in this brush it along there let L this next one [Music] there [Music] that [Music] there you go you got your Rainbow so what I would do is allow this to dry overnight or even for a couple of days if you want it to be super secure [Music] oops stick that back over there and I'm going to show you how to make these little clouds which are super super easy so the clouds are basically one big bowl of fondant and two little small ones they don't have to be even by the way're they're clouds so they they're allowed to be a little bit un even I wouldn't put them straight in a row either I'll put them like that now I wouldn't make these until that part is dry because you want this to be fresh when you press the side of the rainbow in so once this has dried for a couple days um then make this and then you can actually hold it up and just press the side of the rainbow in here and it would just make an indentation and I would just stick it on with a bit of water and because this is fresh um it will just hold everything up okay so obviously you make two one for each side and this here has been dry for about a week now so that's why I can pick it up and handle it like that and that's why it just sits like this um and yeah I would recommend making it a few days in advance if you do want to tr transport it like this standing up if it's just going to be against the side of the cake then not a big deal you can just make it the day before or even while it's still fresh like this if it's going to sit on the side of a round cake you can pick this up and kind of just set it on the side of a round cake like this so if you're going to have that that will just sit there against the side of a round cake okay so I hope you found that useful there you go [Music] oh
