I decided to do a replica of sweet Sophia's favorite toy of the moment for her 100th Day Party...it's the Baby Einstein star from the animal playmat...oh the memories of constant baby music over and over and over...and as the batteries start to die, the slow and contorted sounds that star would make...
The star was actually rice krispie treats covered in fondant. I ended up trying a new product called Fondarific - which it was, but it doesn't take colors well. The only downside to the fondant was trying to airbrush, paint brush, and dry rub any sort of color onto it - it just didn't take. Otherwise, Fondarific is truly terrific! It tastes great and doesn't dry out when you're trying to make figurines.
The original hope was to have the orange circles be more like the lights on the toy - but circumstances made that impossible...I was going to use butterscotch candies, melt them down, then reshape to a larger circumference. The previous night, Trav had cut his pinkie pretty bad and had to get stitches...granted, I could've managed my time better - but i like the other story better! :)
