Ruffles!!!
What you need: pizza cutter, rolling pin, ruler, paint brush, edible glue, tylose, pasta machine, toothpicks, cornstarch.


Add tylose to fondant, or you can also work half fondant/half gumpaste.


Color look somehow the same

I divided the sugar paste. The one on top remains as is.
Second one is mixed 50/50 with white gumpaste or fondant w/ tylose. Next one is around 25/75 the last one is all white. You can always make more colors if you wish and also depending on how high is your cak

When is time to mix paste, if you find it too dry, you can always add some Glycerin. Few drops are fine.

This is my ombre in Mint Green

Let's start with the darkest color. We need to start with a small sausage.


Even if you are using a pasta machine, you need to flatten your paste. So let's use our rolling pin for a bit


This thickness is fine to stat using your pasta machine


Set your pasta machine in 1. You ALWAYS start from number 1 and progresively go up.


Everytime you roll your pasta, it turns longer and longer and thinner and thinner. It can be a little bit complicated to deal with fondant in one hand and rolling hadler on the other one, but you can do it!! I did!


Cut your sugar paste using a ruler and the pizza cutter


Perfectly cut.


This is your second Best friend when making Ruffles: toothpicks


Simply roll the toothpick and Voila!! Ruffles magicaly appear !!


If starts sticking to surface, use the same toothpick to release it from surface


With your paint brush, put some edible glue on flat area in your ruffle


Now start attaching it to your cake. Once I start attaching, I fold the ruffle every now and then


Place some toothpicks under ruffle so it can hold its shape


I keep doing the same with the rest of the colors I am using. I am just decorating a little portion of this dummy. If you ar covering a whole entire cake, you need to work every row at a time.


All Colors are almost add. On this cake I used a combination of 4 color shades and apply 2 rows of each color


It's like PINHEAD!!! Keep those toothpicks under Ruffles so they don't stick to each other and you are actually creating movement on the Ruffle effect
