  • Roll the fondant until it's about 0.6cm to 1cm thick. Remember to regularly rotate the fondant 180 ° while rolling. This will give the fondant an even circular shape. Don't try to take the fondant up and turn it upside down, as it will tear.
  • Use a wire to measure the fondant. Take the rope from which you measured the cake and place it on the fondant. The fondant size should be equal to the wire or slightly larger; You can cut off any excess fondant after it has been coated.

  • Fondant roll to dough rolling tree. Place the dough over one end of the fondant and roll the fondant over the other to easily remove the fondant from the surface. This allows you to easily transfer the fondant to the cake and reduce the chance of it tearing.
    • Sprinkle a little bit of sugar powder on the rolling dough before proceeding.
  • Gently coat the fondant over the cake. Place the fondant on the top of the cake, close to one of the edges of the cake, and pull in the opposite direction to the opposite edge of the cake.

  • Smoothing fondant after coating. Use your hands to smooth the surface of the cake, then the cake. Make sure there are no folds, wrinkles or air bubbles on the cake. Cut off any excess fondant. You can use a knife or a pizza cutter. Try to cut close to the base of the cake.
  • Complete the fondant smoothing process. You can give the cake a smooth and professional look by "flattening" the fondant with a flat cup or a fondant smoothing tool.
    • Add shine by spraying some cooking oil and smoothing again.

  • Complete the cake decoration. You can add extra decorations or buttercream to write text, create curls, or fluff. In addition, you can use a special carpet with a embossed shape to create a texture for the fondant.
