What do you love about working with fondant?

ELENI:
Fondant for me was love at first sight. I think I love most every tiny detail I make to a topper, even if it is a "cute" or an "impressive" final piece. I love the colors that can be made by mixing different basic shades. But most of all I adore it when I find a new use for an old cutter!
How many toppers do you make in a day?

ELENI:
-Number of toppers made per day is not standard. Depends on my inspiration-if I'm planning some new designs...or the orders that have to be completed before a deadline!
So we start from one (if I really have to make that unique purple color I'm searching, I can spend all day)...and move up to 60-70 toppers if they are of the same design!

 

What makes your shop different than other shops selling fondant toppers on etsy?

ELENI:
I think all of us working with fondant share the same love for this unique product. I pay great attention to detail. From matching colors, to finding the real "perfect" design for everyone of my customers.
How did you get your start on etsy.com?

ELENI:
I started on Etsy about 8 months ago. The idea of handcrafters from all over the world joined to one place was too exciting to pass. Plus I live in a small town in Greece and people here are not very familiar with fondant decorations. They prefer more "traditional" desserts. I had to have my passion shared...so I joined the Etsy community!
