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.
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.
- 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.
Advice
- Seal the fondant when you're not using it so it won't dry out.
- For small cakes, a fondant from Marshmallow will suffice. For larger and multilayer cakes, use 2 or more pieces. Excess is better than lack.
- Turn the fondant into round when stored and seal it with oil so that the fondant won't dry out.
What you need
