Hello Annabel, what about rolling the fondant to 5mm thick then add dots & mis-shapes that have been coloured & roll gently. i think it should work,

maybe try it on a small piece to start with.  fingers crossed.

Hi annabel

I second Bev0, that is exactly the way to make camouflage fondant. Have a look at the baby cradle tutorial in the free/beginners library , the same technique can be applied to camouflage.  Cheers.

Another way you can do it is by having a large piece of the main coloured sugarpaste, and some contrasting colours in various sized pieces. Place the contrasting coloured bits of sugarpaste onto the main colour and knead in slightly…. Around 2/3 hand movements so you don’t over mix. Then slice the kneaded lump in half and roll out with a rolling pin. It’s very easy to get to the desired tickness and completely smooth. This is also great for greating tie dye effect if you knead slightly more, or for water, rocks, grass etc.
