Breakfast for Mom (Sri Lankan Style)

This is a typical Sri Lankan breakfast menu my mom loves. The white spirals are called string hoppers, it’s made with a rice flour dough piped and then steamed. The yellow dish is the potato curry. The orange dish is coconut sambol-made with coconut, onions and chillies.

How adorable!

I love it - especially learning more about these Sri Lankan specialties! Can you explain a bit about how each dish and the tray was made? For instance, where was the isomalt used? Which bits are fondant and which are piped? TIA!

Thank you Julia @Julia M. Usher. The tray is a rectangle cookie I baked and covered with textured fondant. The handles are two semi circle cookies I baked and inserted into the fondant. The vase was isomalt (sorry it is not visible in the photo). All the dishes were made with fondant dried on curved mini dishes. The while spirals were piped with royal icing. For the yellow dish, I cut up yellow fondant into tiny cubes (like potatoes), I then thinned down yellow royal icing and poured over it. For the coconut. I colored fondant in green, orange and red. Let it air dry and passed it through a microplane to represent coconut.

Thanks for the detail - clever used of grated fondant (so lifelike)!

What a wonderful idea to create as a cookie Zeena @Zeena!! Once again, the texture you used to create the tray is very realistic and well done. It's always fascinating to me when I see different kinds of food from other countries around the world. Thank you for the explanation of each dish . ❤️❤️❤️ Hugs...

What a fun cookie!  The details are terrific

Love this so much!🥰
