Fordite Fondant Technique

In this tutorial I show you how to achieve this beautiful fondant effect.

[@laurieperkins9437]

Hi Tracey, I just finished a fordite cake using your awesome video. I used a mandolin slicer with great success. I covered over chilled Swiss meringue butter cream, Turned out perfect. Thanks so much!

[@RustyFrench1234]

Oh, that’s wonderful to know! Thank you very much for letting me know about the Swiss meringue AND especially the mandolin! 🥰

Stunning

[@RustyFrench1234]

Thank you Nema! ☺️

[@ThePrincessBaker]

This is so beautiful. When you slice the fondant (9 minutes in part) could you use a mandolin to get super thin slices?

[@RustyFrench1234]

Thank you! I’m so glad you like the effect. ☺️

[@RustyFrench1234]

Sorry, I missed your question! You could definitely try it but I have to admit, it never occurred to me. Would love to hear if it worked! ☺️☺️

You just got yourself a new subscriber. This is unbelievably creative 😍

[@RustyFrench1234]

Oh, thank you very much indeed!

[@danilincks5809]

May I just ask you one question, what would you apply on the surface to make it shiny? Piping gel?

[@RustyFrench1234]

@@danilincks5809 I haven’t tried making it shiny but I think I would spray it with a food glaze like PME clear edible glaze spray. Piping gel may work but I would definitely do a test on some of the leftover slices of mixed fondant to see how it looks first. I’m intrigued to see what you do! ☺️☺️

[@danilincks5809]

Thank you! I just thought it would look cool since these stones are polished and have a shine to them. I’ll let you know!

[@whisperwhisper6408]

😍😍😍😍wow

[@shuggaraecreation2009]

Love! Love it! would this technique work on buttercream without the fondant base

[@RustyFrench1234]

Thank you! It should do as I have done it on ganache. Just make sure it’s refrigerated and as firm as you can get it.☺️

[@shuggaraecreation2009]

Beautiful.

[@RustyFrench1234]

Thank you very much ☺️

[@rachaelcoleman2874]

Absolutely stunning. Can you apply it straight on to ganache instead of the fondant covered cake. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@RustyFrench1234]

Rachael Coleman Thank you! I haven’t but I’m sure if the ganache is nice and firm it would work well!

[@rebecasabourin1318]

This looks amazing, it just like I do with fimo.

Amiraa Yassin Hehe! thank you!

[@ksweet87]

Hey, thank you for showing us this. I wanted to ask if it’s possible to stick the fordite fondant on ti buttercream

[@RustyFrench1234]

ksweet87 You are welcome! I really don’t see any reason why you couldn’t...it’s not heavy. If the buttercream is firm so it doesn’t ooze through the joins it should work well. 😊

[@sandriyafernando3948]

This is amazing 😍 thank you so much for this tutorial... Definitely trying this ❤️ Question though, is it necessary to have a fondant layer for the base, or can we do this on butter icing? (which has been refrigerated of course)

[@RustyFrench1234]

Hi! Thank you - I’m sorry for the delay. I’m sure you could just have a buttercream or ganache base. Like you say, refrigerated, so it doesn’t ooze between the ‘slices’ of fondant.

[@lilachsabath]

amazing! can you give the quantities and cake size?

[@RustyFrench1234]

Hi, thank you. The cake is 6” diameter by 7 1/2” tall.

[@lilachsabath]

@@RustyFrench1234 thanks ! and from the one block you made it all covered ?

[@barbaranieuwdorp3090]

How do you stop the colors from coming together to form a separate color? For example I tried red white and blue and it came together into purple. I was so bummed.

[@RustyFrench1234]

Oh, that’s such a shame. The colours do partially blend where they meet up, that is part of the effect, but they shouldn’t completely blend so that you can no longer see the original colours you used. With red, white and blue you would be best to put the white as every 2nd layer: red-white-blue-white-red-white and so on, so the red and blue are separated and don’t blend. You will, however get some pinky red as well as lighter blue where they touch the white. I hope this helps.

$190 Fordite cake, who wants it?

[@RustyFrench1234]

What’s the $190 for?

[@dulceluzesquivelramos9510]

😍I need make this! 👉💝👈

[@dulceluzesquivelramos9510]

Excuse me i have a question. For what its used the spray mist?

[@RustyFrench1234]

That’s a good question as I didn’t end up using it for this cake. I do use it for this technique whenever the layers of fondant don’t stick together well ie. if it’s a bit dry. It also helps to give the cake a light spray if there’s not enough condensation to stick the pieces of Fordite fondant on. Thank you for asking. ☺️
