Gum Paste
This year I used something other than fondant to make decorations for the cake. Gum paste is very similar to fondant but it dries a lot faster and harder.
Here is a picture of the gum paste coral that will go on the cake. I just formed each piece of coral using my hands (kind of like Play dough) and then textured it with the back end of a paintbrush.

Here is the gum paste seaweed that I made for the cake. I just rolled the gum paste and then cut out the seaweed and twisted it.

Thankfully, I have two very well behaved girls....because I have been busy this week!
