Heart / Leaf shaped sweets or fondant

[kiwidreamer]

I'm making DD the fairy toadstool cake from the Australian Women's Weekly but I cannot seem to find a the right size hearts or leaves as they have used, has anyone seen anything similar to the items on the picture on the link or would I be better off getting the heart and leaf fondant cutter plunger thingies do you think?

How hard is it to colour plain fondant? I have all the right Wilton gel colours which would make it far more economical to colour one block of fondant rather than buy several coloured blocks!!

Fairy Toadstool Cake

I have seen that cake made with white chocolate buttons on for spots. It's easy to colour plain fondant in my experience. I just mashed it in....I made sure my hands and my surface were VERY clean. I used clingfilm on a board so that it was ultra clean.
