fondant subtlety

This project was completed for an event held locally October 25. the warm kitchen did not do it justice in the end. Of course, it was a bit of a rush project as I was not initially planning to be the one to do it. It is about three pounds of confectioner's sugar with peppermint extract. There is another ingredient, but I cannot remember it off the top of my head - that is what recipe books are for, eh?!
The crowns with tigers represent on each point represent the crowns of the East Kingdom. The tigers were iced with blue blue frosting and attached to the crowns with white icing. The tigers and icing did not particularly like the humidity of the kitchen. I do not have any photos of the completed project available.
Below is more fondant with food coloring to reflect the King and Queen's arms. IT was a BIG hit with the kids! Sweet AND minty!!


Since, I have made marzipan with almonds, confectioner's sugar and pasteurized egg whites. The plan is to make it for Christmas presents. I tried some with dark chocolate at Thanksgiving with the idea to see who would like it. Well, with how fast it went (five minutes, tops), I should make a double batch or four :)
