Serves
Makes approx 12 carrots
Recipe Ingredients
- Approximately 3cm ball of orange fondant icing
- Approximately 3cm ball of green fondant icing
- A toothpick or skewer
- A small knife
Recipe Method
Orange Carrots
- Pinch off a piece of orange icing approximately the size of the tip of your baby finger.
- Gently using your hands roll the ball of orange icing into a cylinder shape, then carefully press one end to elongate and create the pointy end of a carrot.
- Using a toothpick or skewer, press a small hole into the thicker top of the carrot (this is where the green stalk will go).
Green Stalks
- Divide your ball of green icing into 4 pieces.
- Using your fingertips, roll each piece into a long thin cylinder.
- Using a knife, cut into 2cm lengths
- Carefully fold each 2cm piece into a “V” shape – this will be the stalk
- Leave the green stalks to dry for 30 minutes.
Assembly
- Once the components of the carrots have hardened slightly, gently press the green stalks into the hole at the top of the carrots that you created with a toothpick.
- Repeat the steps until you have a few carrots to decorate your iced muffins or cupcakes with.
- Allow the icing carrots to harden for at least 2 hours before working with them.
