Make a large cone, fill the conewith the desired filling and make a small hole at oneend of the fruit. Insert the tip of your cone and applypressure, thus filling the cream puff.These may be placed on a rack and poured with a
fondant icing, the same type we use for pouring petitsfours.
The fondant icing may be colored to a pastel yellowshade. After drying, a cloth may be dipped into your coloring and rubbed over the outer edges to obtain the various color effects, a dark for the banana and a light pink for the apples and a green for the pears. By rub-bing the cloth lightly over the object, you may blendin the color for a realistic effect.
