Dinosaur Fondant Press

For my son's second birthday, I wanted to make dinosaur cupcakes. I got a homemade fondant recipe online (which was way too sticky, so I won't post it), and bought these Cake Boss fondant presses. They were easy to use, and as you can see, the dinos came out nicely.

For the problem of the heavy clasp

Thin chains tend to have clasps that always end up in the front. One solution to this problem is to make a clasp that's meant to be seen.




Using silver wire, I made an S shape, spiraling both ends. The bottom spiral is attached tightly to the chain, while the upper one is loose enough to remove the chain in order to put the necklace on.
