Ingredients to make fondant pumpkin for Halloween:
1. Before getting to work with sugar pumpkins, you must leave both the colored fondant and the pastry utensils that you will use. Thus, you must gather the following:- Roller
– ball pencil
– Plastic knife
Remember that the fondant can buy it already done in any specialized store or prepare it yourself with clouds of sugar, following the steps of this simple recipe.
2. Now that you have everything, make a ball with the orange fondant. The size of the ball will be the one that will have the pumpkin, so that depending on what you want to use you will need a more or less large piece. If, for example, you want to decorate a cake with Halloween figures, you can even make pumpkins of different sizes.
3. crush the ball slightly with the palm of the hand. The pumpkins do not usually have a completely rounded shape, so to get it to be as real as possible you must perform this step.
4. Take the ball pencil, place it in the center of the top of the pumpkin and press down. In this way, we will make the hole where we will introduce the stem and pumpkin leaf.
5. With the plastic knife, perform lines from the anterior hole to the bottom of the fondant pumpkin. With this, what we intend is to contribute even more realism to the figure, so you do not have to make all the same lines. Look at the royal pumpkins and try to draw the lines in the same way.
Trick: Press the knife well to mark the cracks more.
6. Now we are going to draw the sheet. This step is totally optional, but it will always give a little more realism to pumpkin, as well as improve the presentation of the figure. Extend the green fondant with the roller, take the knife and cut the leaf to your liking.
Trick: Draw the nerves for the leaf to seem more real.
7. Take a brown, green or black fondant piece, and shape the stem making a small churro with your fingers. Then, moisten with water the hole you performed at the top of the pumpkin, place in the center of the tip of the sheet and press slightly so that it is well stuck. Then, it moistens one of the ends of the stem and place it just above the tip of the leaf.
8. Now we just have to make the face of the pumpkin. To do this, extend the black fondant with the roller and draw two triangles for the eyes with the plastic knife. Then draw a crescent for the mouth. At this point you must let your imagination fly and try to make your face as terrifying as possible.
Trick: We have trimmed two teeth, one above and one down.
9. To glue your eyes and mouth to the fondant pumpkin, moistens the ball pencil slightly, take with it the pieces that make up the face and place them one in one. Remember that you must wet each of the parts with water so that they are glued to the orange fondant. In this step you must be patient and a lot of pulse, especially if the pumpkin is rather small. Move the pieces with your fingers to place them to your liking. Of course, keep in mind that the black fondant can dirty orange, so try to be as well as possible to the first.
Trick: If you want, you can take the pieces with some tweezers instead of using the ball pencil.
10. And voila! You already have your fondant pumpkin prepared to decorate a cake for Halloween, cupcakes or muffins. Do you want more figures with reasons for this holiday? Don miss the following recipes!- Fondants ghost
