Adorable little ladybugs

Hand-molded fondant was used for the ladybugs and painted with the tiniest of brushes. A steady hand painted the spots with the darkest of food colorings. The leaves are cut with a tiny fondant puncher, and my knife carefully engraved the fine lines. The ladybugs are crawling over the marshmallow…or perhaps they are trying to take little bites of the soft sweet treat. The candy coating is perfectly draped over creating a smooth surface for the little creatures to sit. I like that the plate is in an outdoor setting…next time I will use a pale green paper liner.
