When good and warm, use table fork for dipping almonds, dates and California grapes. Strawberries may be held by the stem and dipped half way in the fondant and then placed on waxed paper. Add a cup of chopped walnuts to fondant, blend in 1 teaspoon vanilla, and drop from a spoon for fondant cream kisses. For maple kisses, use a few drops of mapelene flavor and burnt sugar.
To make a mint pattie basket, two mints are stucktogether with a dot of royal icing. Place the two mintsthat have been stuck together into warm fondant ofa contrasting color. These should be dipped about x/3 of the way into the fondant. Lift out and place upright to drain on waxed paper. The softer fondant will rundown forming a wide base in the contrasting color,thus holding the mints in the upright position, givingthem a basket effect. Using a small cone and a No. 3tube, the handle is then piped over the top of the mint. Small flowers and leaves may be piped out of the sidesof the basket as illustrated. |
