Nee started letting me play with fondant quite sometime ago. While it is definitely much more manageable compared to marzipan (in terms of its durability), I am still lunging myself at it like an amateur.
Like photography, my attempts have been mostly intuitive, lacking the technical superiority of other sugarcraft artists.
These were a few of my attempts for Nee's customers who wanted something a bit more on top of their cakes.
This fairy cake was a bit tough cos to make fairies, you have to feel like one, to become one with them; and for a guy, that's not easy.
I used to love these girls until I had to sculpt them in 3D. These Power Puff Babies were tough. It took me 4 hours & cracks started appearing.
In between all these were also a pumpkin for Halloween & a 3D sports car (no photos unfortunately) which made me work my butt off.
A word of warning though. If you're looking for aesthetics above the quality of the actual cakes, you can do better if you try places like Mita or Taka cakehouses (I don't think they would hire me in a million years).
However if the quality of the cakes is more important to you & the decor is just a bonus distraction, then Nee has got the right stuff for you.
