Comment on Cream Cheese Fondant by TheSlottedSpoon

Suzy… I’m glad to see another LOST fan on here! As for the fondant template, I made a quick one by printing out a Dharma logo on my home printer the same size as the cake, then I just used a razor blade to cut the fondant the same size as the printed template pieces. It took quite awhile, but I was happy with the results.
There are more pictures of the process on my other blog, http://blog.ernstrom.net/?p=408, if it would help.
Let me know how it turns out! I think I may try making “fish biscuits” this Sunday!

Hi! I’m planning on making a dharma cake for the series finale of Lost this Sunday. I’m wondering if you had a template you used to cut out the fondant or if you did it free hand? Looks great! I think I’m going to try and replicate it!

i’m so glad someone else has tried this out… i’ve been working on recreating a friend’s grandmother’s big red cake recipe; it’s a very moist cake that is supposed to be two layers with a whipped cream/vanilla pudding filling and cream cheese icing, but i’m nervous about putting it all together — i’m hoping if i can do a cream cheese fondant, it’ll hold together.

The recipe makes enough to cover a single layer 9″ round. Let me know how it works for you!

I’ve got your recipe in the crock pot right now….very excited. I did cut back on the white sugar (maybe 1/4 c instead of 1/2). I also used a smaller 8oz can of tomato sauce instead of the typical larger size. My roast is about 4.15lb. Another tip is that at Costa Vida they dust your hot tortilla with powdered Parmesan cheese. I will let you know how it came out. I also noticed that this blog was written a while ago. Have you made any adjustments since then?

Thanks for the tips! I have developed many mixed feelings about Wilton Fondant. I love the look, hate the taste. I am anxious to try the recipe you included for a Red Velvet cake I am making this week. I wasn’t sure how fondant would taste next too cream cheese icing, but with your suggestion, things should be great!

I’m pretty sure it makes 2 standard/full size loaves…. 5×9, I believe.
Or 1 standard loaf and 2 small ones.

I would like to know how many loaves of bread this recipe will make depending on the size of bread pan implemented, thanks!
