DUCK FONDANTSSS!!!

Today we are going to learn how to make DUCK Fondants! YAY!


Fondants are are edible doughs that we can normally find on cakes
which makes it interesting. Using fondant, we can make whatever shape we want! and use it on our cakes!But today we will learn how to make a fondant shaped as a duck!
 You can either go to shops to buy it(less then $10 in Singapore)or you can make it!!!


Here are the ingredients we need to make it. You will need the followings:
·       0.70 oz (20 g) powdered gelatine +  cup (50 ml) cold water
·       3.3 oz (100 g) fructose + 1½ tbsp (20 ml) water
·       1 tbsp glycerine
·       30.4 oz (900 g) powdered sugar 
·       Yellow dye 
                            Here are the instructions!

1.  Dissolve gelatine in cold water. Let stand for a few minutes.
2.  Combine fructose with water and heat until it boils, stirring. Let it boil for 30 sec. and remove from heat. Add gelatine and glycerine. Combine.
3.  Add the mixture to half of the powdered sugar, stir with spoon to combine. Gradually add the rest of the powdered sugar. Turn onto working surface and knead until it comes together.
4.  Leave on working surface for 30 minutes so that it cools.
5.  Add the yellow dye to the fondant
6.  Keep covered in plastic wrap, in an air-tight container on room temperatures. If you don't use all at once, it might harden, so heat it in microwave for 4 seconds, it will become pliable again. It stores well for 1 month, but it's best to use in 2-3 days.

Here are the instructions of making the duck shape!

1.First roll the fondant into a smooth 3D circle shape
2.Then shape the circle into a rectangle 
3.Then pinch one side of the rectangle upwards.
4.Then shape wings for the duck(based on you creativity ^-^)
5.You can use different colour dye to shape the beak of the duck.
6.(If you have edible marker ink) draw eyes and details of the duck.

Hope you find this information usefull :)
