I’m Nuts and Bolts About You! Love Machine Fondant Tutorial

Valen­tine’s Day is less than two weeks away! Are you ready to show your loved ones just how much they mean to you?!

When cre­at­ing Valen­tines, it’s hard to stay from super girly designs, as hearts and love themes in gen­er­al are usu­al­ly a bit fem­i­nine, but I want­ed to cre­ate some­thing that would be applic­a­ble and attrac­tive to both boys and girls alike. So after some brain­storm­ing, I thought, why not cre­ate a lov­ing robot, or rather, a love machine!

Three years ago, my hus­band and I were cel­e­brat­ing our tenth year anniver­sary and I want­ed to make some cute top­pers to gift him. The tra­di­tion­al gift for ten years is that of tin, which isn’t the eas­i­est one to repli­cate! We both love the clas­sic film The Wiz­ard of Oz, so I decid­ed that it would be cute to not only cre­ate a Tin Man of my own, but also give him a cute lit­tle part­ner! We com­mem­o­rat­ed our TINTH anniver­sary with this tin fon­dant cou­ple on our cake, as I thanked him for shar­ing OIL his heart with me!

The tin cou­ple inspired me to cre­ate anoth­er sweet tin man, but this time in robot form! Head over the Craft­sy blog for the sim­ple step-by-step tuto­r­i­al for this Love Machine to tell your loved one you are nuts and bolts about him/her!
