COOKIES ARE AMONG NEW PRODUCTS UTILIZING FONDANT

The owner of Pink Cake Box Custom Cakes in Denville, NJ,
recommends using fondant on top of decorated cookies to
make clean, colorful, eye-popping designs.
"One of the things I love so much about using fondant is that
you are able to put your own stamp on it and make more
money," she says. "There are so many things you can do that
will increase your profitability."

"Lately, customers are looking for smaller,
everyday celebration cakes with an upscale look
of fondant."

Another useful trick is to use fondant to make cake toppers ahead of time, like a fondant bluebird that you can
place on top of a decorated cake. You can also make
custom flower-shaped cookie cutters so "you have something nobody else has."
According to IDDBA's What's in Store 2017, fondant is playing
a big role in style trends this year. First, in-store bakeries are
looking for vibrant floral patterns and bold color drip, which
can offer a decadent and sweet 'wow' factor.
Also trending are geo-mosaic fondant triangles, which can be
used to create stunning wedding cake designs.
"Creating a bold, modern mosaic pattern really makes a
statement on cake designs and is perfect for bold and ultramodern brides," IDDBA writes. "When strong, unexpected
hues get all mixed together, it really creates unique look.".
