    With all the healthy talk going around the Indian blogs, I believe with all my heart that there is no hydrogenated fat in that frosting, right??? That would be wonderful, especially if you could share the healthy recipe for kids.

    Thank you. Rocks and road are made of fondant/ For making rocks I mixed 2 colors of fondant and chocolate and made discs out of it. Road is just a cutout from rolled out black fondant. Crushed Oreo cookie as mud, tip 233 icing grass.

    Rocks, road and bugs are marshmallow fondant(- basically sugar and gelatin ) and chocolate. Grass is “butter” butter cream. I frost all my cakes with butter based buttercream. But for doing some of the advanced butter icing flowers I use veg shortening based BC, but there is none in this cake. This is a choice that you have to make, and specify when you order a cake.

    Thanks a lot.

    Archana, I'm not really good at it! But I keep going for its therapeutic effect. I'll do a pottery only post one of these days and you'll see what I mean!

    Check out what this talented lady does with clay. She has amazing talent. I'm pretty sure you will take to it like fish to water!

    Happy Diwali!
