Are you looking to add a touch of elegance to your cake decorations? A wheat ear made out of fondant can be the perfect choice! In this step-by-step guide, we will explain how you can create a stunning wheat ear using fondant. Let’s get started!

What You Will Need:

  • Fondant in different colors (golden yellow, light green, and brown)
  • Rolling pin
  • Wheat ear template or a real wheat ear as a reference
  • Knife or fondant cutter
  • Edible glue or water
  • Parchment paper
  • Paintbrush

Step 1: Prepare Your Work Area

Before you begin, make sure your work area is clean and well-organized. Dust your surface with powdered sugar or cornstarch to prevent the fondant from sticking.

Step 2: Roll Out the Fondant

Take the golden yellow fondant and roll it out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Use the wheat ear template or your reference to cut out the shape of the wheat ear with a knife or fondant cutter. Set it aside on parchment paper.

Step 3: Create the Wheat Stalks

Roll out a small piece of light green fondant into thin strips. Cut them into different lengths (around 2-3 inches) to create the wheat stalks. You can create around 10-15 stalks. Set them aside.

Step 4: Attach the Stalks to the Wheat Ear

Apply a small amount of edible glue or water to the bottom of each stalk and carefully attach them to the back of the wheat ear. Arrange them in a fan-like pattern, with the shorter stalks towards the center and the longer ones towards the outside.

Step 5: Add Detail to the Wheat Stalks

Using brown fondant, create small teardrop shapes to resemble the grains of wheat. Attach them to the tops of the stalks using edible glue or water. Space them out evenly to give a realistic appearance.

Step 6: Let it Dry

Allow your fondant wheat ear to dry for at least 24 hours. This will ensure that it hardens and holds its shape when placed on the cake.

Step 7: Paint for a Natural Look (Optional)

If desired, you can use edible gold or bronze dust mixed with a small amount of clear alcohol to paint the wheat ear. This will add a beautiful and natural-looking touch to your decoration.

Step 8: Decorate Your Cake

Once your fondant wheat ear is completely dry, carefully place it on your cake. It can be used as a standalone decoration or as part of a larger arrangement.

With these simple steps, you now have a gorgeous wheat ear made out of fondant! It’s the perfect addition to elevate the beauty of your cake. Give it a try and impress your friends and family with your cake decorating skills!
