2. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar on the operating table and roll the white sugar to a thickness of about 1/8 inches to ensure that the feathers are not too heavy for the top of the cupcake. Use small and medium-sized feather cutting dies to cut feather shapes. You can cut more just in case.
3. Then, draw a long dividing line among the feathers with a shaping knife. Draw this stripe line gently on the frosted feather, otherwise it will pierce the frosted feather, and of course, don't cut the feather in half too hard. Then, as shown in the figure, draw upward lines on both sides and operate as gently as possible. Don't worry about these lines that look like parallel lines. The irregular grain makes this frosted feather look more real.
4. at the edge of the feather, draw some small cracks with a shaping knife, and the position can be scattered. Then, gently break these small cracks with your fingers to make the feathers look more natural.
5. spread a layer of bubble pad or crumpled paper towel on the tray, or anything that can shape the feathers. Sprinkle some powdered sugar to prevent frosted feathers from sticking to the bubble pad. Then put the fondant feather on it, and it will look lifelike after drying.
6. It's time to decorate the feathers. Pour 2g or 1/2 canned golden toner and 1/2 teaspoons of alcohol or essence into the mixing tray. Mix and stir until there is no caking. This consistency should be similar to whipped cream, but not too thin. If necessary, add a little powdered sugar or alcohol or essence to adjust the viscosity. In the same way, treat the coral tone toner in another mixing tray.
7. Gently pick up the fudge feather with your hand and put it on your left hand. Your fingers support the feathers to prevent deformation, and your right hand colors them. Then apply a golden toner mixture with a brush at will and put it back on the bubble pad to dry. Note: This toner mixture will slowly evaporate and become thinner and thinner. If necessary, you can add a little alcohol or essence in the process of brushing feathers.
8. Put the decorated frosted feathers on the frosted cupcakes and serve. Be careful not to freeze in the refrigerator, because if the refrigerator is wet, the frosted feathers will soften and cause deformation.
