Needed supplies:
White fondant
Brown fondant
brown gel color
small paint brush
Fondant Veining tool or toothpicks
Sponge or sponge paintbrush
Vanilla Extract or vodka

1.) I took two batches of Fondant, one in white and one in brown. In this case I used Chocolate Fondant.

2.) I then added a tiny bit of the brown fondant to the white to give it a tannish color.

3.) I took a bit of each color and rolled them into long thin "snakes".


4.) Then I twisted them together loosely.



5.) I did this a few times to get the amount of Fondant I thought I would need to cover my cake.

6.) I then rolled it out to the size I needed and the thickness.

7.) I covered my cake. (Pirate Ship in this case)

8.) The good news...since it is wood grain it doesn't have to be perfect...what wood is perfect?

9.) I took a Fondant Veining tool and made holes for the knots, and line, straight and squiggly for the grain look.

10.) Then I took brown Americolor gel (Wilton would work too) and used it with my small paint brush and traced the lines and filled in the "knots" with extra color. Again doesn't have to be perfect.



11.) I then took my brown color and thinned it out with Vanilla extract to get the desired color. Test it on some left over fondant to make sure it is the color you are after. I used a piece of sponge (from my gumpaste flower former set) to brush the color on my fondant. I went one way as much as possible to keep with the wood grain look.

12.) After you finish up you can go over it or parts of it with a clean sponge and vanilla to "lighten" up parts of the wood look.
(see the different shades....really they are there! )

You will need...

Roll out the fondant over the cake board and remove the excess.

Using a ruler, create carvings and use the ruler's width to measure how far apart they'll be.



Still, using the ruler, finish the carvings

Use the fondant tools for the final touch.

Prepare the wide and narrow brush, brown and black edible color and vodka. You can use vodka to dilute the colors .

Dip the top of brush in the brown color....

.... and drag the lines as shown.

Continue over the entire surface. It doesn't have to be perfect, just play

Now dip the brush in the vodka...

.and move it over the entire surface.



Take a smaller brush and dip it in black and partly in brown color.

Highlight the carvings.

add little marks to make it look more realistic.




Brush the surface with a brush dipped in vodka.
