Leaf fondant embosser for cakes and cupcakes

Leaf fondant embosser for cakes and cupcakes

Give cakes or cupcakes a particularly beautiful coating with a clearly embossed leaf pattern. The embosser is pressed lightly into the fondant or marzipan so that the motif is clearly visible and can then be decorated with color, royal icing or pearls. What is the tool suitable for? For fondant, marzipan, modeling paste, flower paste or modeling chocolate; best for rolled fondant, marzipan or a modeling chocolate-fondant mixture. How is it used? Knead the mixture well and roll it out evenly; a thickness of approx. 3 mm is sufficient for cupcakes, the coating of a cake may be 4 to 5 mm thick. To prevent the pattern from warping, you can emboss directly on the cake; for smaller decorations, decorate the mixture before placing it on the cake. Briefly dip the fondant embosser sheets into baker's starch, tap it off and gently press the embosser more or less firmly into the mixture, depending on the intended use. For larger areas, simply continue the pattern and dip the embosser in baker's starch again in between to prevent sticking. With the fondant embosser sheets, fine lines can then be traced with a food pencil, some mixed powder color or royal icing; small pearls or dots of color in corners or at transitions provide additional effects.
