cool video for people who wanna see the fondant used. I really like how she used the little ball of fondant with color then mixed it in with larger amount to achieve color she wanted. This is how I was taught by Nicholas Lodge to do it. I do it that way every time. Nice addition to the site for people to view!

I love how she makes it look soooooooooo easy very.Then when you go to try it you realize it was deceiving to the eyes. I can't make a cake without having a huge mess even though I try to clean as I go lol

Hey 2sdae, why do you (and Nicholas Lodge!!) color a little ball first? I've never seen that before. What's the advantage?
Thanks!

Maybe less of a mess? I've never heard of it either....

is it less mess? i just throw in the colors and go. of course, my hands are coated. i've tried wearing gloves but that was annoying to me.
