I’m wanting to make a simple cake with fondant. Does anyone have any tips on how to make fondant look kind of like old antique cracked paint or wood stain?

This cake isn’t due until May, so I’ve got plenty of time to experiment. And I think it’s going to take a lot of trial and error. OMG i needed that tonight.

It would give the nice strands of lint. A couple of times, while making MMF, I have added gumpaste powder when it’s still liquid. Both times I did it at this point, instead of kneading it in once I’ve added ps, it has made tiny clumps that I cannot get.
