Yes, I know it’s bootie in this context, shaddup :o)

I keep telling myself that when I get time I’ll have a go at modelling with fondant (or “fondahhhnt”, for those to want to pronounce it properly) and finally got inspired enough to get my act together when I saw Not Quite Nigella make it look easy.

So to mark the start of my week-long break from work, I gave it a whirl.

I made about half a dozen before my attention span waned. Already I know what I’ll do differently next time, but am pretty chuffed with myself for at least pulling my finger out and giving it a go.

Major props to my Wilton icing colour pots, awesome job with the blue colouring, although I now have some lovely patches of azure on my fingers :o)
