Tuesday Toppers: Would you like some Cheese?

cheesecupcake123

This week, unfortunately I didn't get the time to make Wallace like I had wanted for this weeks topper. Instead I choose this quick and easy piece of cheese:D. If you've ever seen any of the Wallace and Gromit movies, you know that Wallace has a slight obsession with the pungent dairy product. Wensleydale to be exact, and although i'm not really sure what Wensleydale looks like, here's my impression of the cheese and here's what you'll need to make it:

cheese8

-Fondant smoother
-Ball tool
-Small ball of yellow fondant

cheese7

-Using fondant smoother, flatten ball slightly.

cheese6

-Using your fingers, pinch one end to form the start of a triangle

cheese5

-Turn piece on its end to flatten the back side.

cheese4

-Using fondant smoother again, flatten the back..

cheese3

-and sides.

cheese2

-Next Pinch all of the egdes to make them more pronounced.

cheese1

- Then using the small end of the ball tool, make small and large holes all over the cheese.


-MMM cheese!

Happy Tuesday everyone:D
