To make red fondant bricks, mix red fondant with a little bit of brown fondant.
Here's a more detailed breakdown based on the reference provided, keeping in mind it doesn't explicitly detail the brick making portion, but rather focuses on color mixing:
- Start with Red Fondant: Obtain a quantity of red fondant as your base. This can be store-bought or homemade.
- Introduce Brown: Add a small amount of brown fondant to the red fondant. The exact ratio will depend on the specific shades of red and brown you're using and the desired brick color. It's best to start with a very small amount and gradually add more until you achieve the right hue.
- Mixing: Thoroughly knead the red and brown fondant together until the color is consistent throughout.
- Forming Bricks: Once you have the desired brick red color, you can start shaping the fondant into bricks. Here's how you can do it:
- Roll out the fondant: Use a rolling pin to roll the fondant to the desired thickness for your bricks.
- Cut into rectangles: Use a knife, fondant cutter, or ruler to cut the fondant into small rectangular shapes. These will be your bricks.
- Texture (Optional): For a more realistic brick look, you can add texture to the surface of the fondant bricks. You can use tools or even press the fondant against a brick to create an imprint.
