Fall's Bountiful Harvest - 916F
The basket was done in royal icing as this is a dummy cake. Grapes, plums, cherry tomatoes, garlic, cucumber, tablecloth and peppers are all made from fondant. The apple, peach, potatoes, corn, and carrots are formed rice krispy treats and then covered with fondant. Basket handle is made from gum paste. The filler 'straw' packing material is made from fondant that I forced through an extruder. It looked like whole wheat spaghetti until it dried and I broke it up into smaller pieces. I also used some of the faux straw for the end of the garlic. The wood for the table top was 5 different colors of fondant (white, tan, yellow, pumpkin orange and black) that I rolled into long ropes and then rolled it out and stained it with Ever-clear and chocolate brown petal dust. Everything was shaded with petal dust.

Dear Linda, who needs the $70 Sassy Gun? (Me because is pink-lol) All you need is the microwave and a torch. Please check Sugar Artist Peggy Tucker on You tube, it's the most simple tutorial that makes you want to play with Isomalt all day long.

Yes Katy there is. I watched for a stainless steel pot to go on sale, just to use for my isomalt. I have a induction stove, so no cheapie pots for that unfortunately. I haven't had the opportunity to try and melt them in the pot. But.... I stumbled upon a post on Pinterest that said buying a glue gun specifically for your isomalt works. Get Sassie sells there own "gun" for the sticks. They say using the "other" glue guns for the sticks are dangerous, and you could burn yourself. Well any hot glue gun can be dangerous if you are not careful. Been watching for a good glue gun to go on sale.
Hope this tip helps. :o)
