Stripes are a fun way to decorate your fondant cake. Cut strips with
a
ribbon cutter or pizza cutter and add to your cake along the edges. You
can use all one color or a combination of colors for a fun look. Add a
bow or writing on the top of your cake to finish it off.

fondant cake. Try squares, autumn leaves, hearts or holiday decorations
cut out of colored fondant. You can add more affects to each decoration
if needed. Apply to the top of your cake in whatever design you'd
like.
Fondant flowers can be created easily with cookie cutters or molds. Stack several size flowers for a 3D look.

A fondant figure on your cake
can be the center of the whole cake design.
Depending on whether you created a person with a theme or an animal in
the jungle, the figures make the whole cake.

You can buy textured mats or rolling pins that leave a pattern on top of your fondant. An easy way to create an elegant look to your fondant.
Add a fondant bow and some fondant roses for an elegant cake or add a bow to the center like you would a present.
