How in the world do you cover a cake tier with fondant that is larger at the top than at the bottom?? If you look at my topsy-turvy baby shower cake (blue & brown) you will see why I ask.

Seems illogical to me...roll out a circle (circles are larger on the outside)edge and try to place on an object where the outside edge of the circle goes on the smallest part of the object!!!

Thanks so much

good question I would like to know that as well.

Sorry I've never done it, but here's a bump

I'm far from a professional but. . .I have done this before, once! It actually wasn't that hard, just took a bit more smoothing and such. When I cover my cakes with fondant I always put my cake on top of something smaller in diameter than the cake. This allows my fondant to hang down and requires less work in my opinion. I just kept smoothing and working out the wrinkles and Viola! ( my fonadant was still pretty stretchy if that helps) I had to work quickly aswell. HTH. (Hopefully someone with more "know-how" will post.

"BUMP"

Hmmmm... excellent question... I have not given that any thought... anyone???

A lot of "stretch & smooth"... lather, rinse, repeat.

Thanks AuntieElle, I raise my cakes onto a smaller plaform than the cake. Did you do yours while the cake was cold or room temp?
