Antiqued or Crackle Effect
I am designing a cake for a customer that looks like stacked gift boxes...they make a snowman and look like the crackled paint effect...any ideas on how to do this with fondant?

Would a fabric roller do the trick? I don't have one YET (waiting for my SugarEd package to arrive) so I can't say for sure.

You could probably use soft sponges to sponge on a very light antique effect with gel paste thinned with a bit of vodka.... then with a little thicker paste use a paper towel crumpled up and dip it lightly into the gel then lightly onto the fondant.... allow each layer to dry in between. Use small sponges and a small piece of paper towel. Does that make any sense at all??? I use this method with paper and it works with fondant too.
