Sculpting in emboss is a three-dimensional style of decorating. This technique is quite fun. You relive the work done while at school. With this we get figures that when placed on the cake they will jut out a little from their environment. A presentable work will be shown. It’s especially good for children’s birthdays.
Embossing Decoration Techniques
Steps to follow
- Prepare the plaque wrapped with fondant. Let it dry well.
- Look for a design that can adapt to the technique in a magazine or book, or you make one.
- Put it on the already wrapped cake or plaque as mentioned previously for the liquid glaze paste for cakes.
- Using a brush and much diluted food coloring paint the background tones, with a thinner brush and food colorings without diluting make the inside design details.
- Stretch the colored fondant with the desired colors and cut each of the design parts with a scissor, or mold them by hand on the same plaque.
- Place them on the cake in their corresponding places, dampening a little with egg white, this way you can form the whole collage.
- Some parts can be done with a medium consistency royal glaze applied with a brush.
- If the decoration has flowers, make these previously on fondant and, once dry, stick them onto the relief with glaze. This way they add another dimension.
- Once the embossing is complete, finish all the details with royal glaze in a coned paper.
Note For some parts to have more relief, place between the plaque or cake and the application of the paste some extra pieces of fondant to give it more volume.
