Frosting Recipes

The Frosted Cake’n Cookie is the site of a highly-skilled self-taught cake decorator in Indiana.   Those hot Midwest summers don’t really lend themselves to detailed fondant work.  But she’s created these excellent fondant-adorned Gromit cupcakes for her daughter’s 9th birthday party.

If you’re not yet a fan of the fondant, it’s a pliable confection often used in cake decorating as well as candies.  Its smoothness and doughiness makes it a beautiful way to ornament cakes beyond your wildest dreams.

This site gives fantastic step-by-step fondant instruction with awesome photos.  You’ll see that the Gromit design and fondant assembly is pretty simple and easy to follow.
