Creating shapes out of fondant is an easy way to decorate cakes or cupcakes when you want to get away from simply piping a design onto a cake with frosting. Fondant is a sweet, thick material that professional bakers commonly use to smoothly cover cakes. Create bear shapes using a bear cookie cutter and rolling your fondant out with a rolling pin. Use the fondant bears to top a cake, a variety of cupcakes or even frosted sugar cookies. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Purchase pre-made, pre-colored fondant in the color of your choice.
Sprinkle cornstarch onto a counter and rub it onto your rolling pin. This will prevent the fondant from sticking. Roll the fondant out to 1/8-inch thickness.
Press your bear cookie cutter into the fondant and lift it away. Remove the excess fondant from around the bear. Lift the fondant bear with a spatula, being careful not to damage its edges or leave fingerprints on it.
Dip a pastry brush in water and brush the water onto one side of the fondant bear. Place the bear onto whatever frosted baked good you are decorating and press slightly. It should easily stay in place.
