I'm sure this is in here somewhere but I have trouble searching the articles.
I just need to know hoe the fondant goes on because it is on the bottom too. Do you just lay it down and then put the cake on and wrap it around the cake? Just want to make sure before I waist my time and money doing it wrong.
Thanks!

Oops not hoe how. LOL

I would probably make it just how you described. When I made my open book cake, that is how I did it.

Hopefully someone who has had some experience with this will see this post and be able to help you more.

Good Luck!

That is exactly how I my Harry Potter books. Just roll out a rectangle of fondant, put the cake down, and "wrap" it. The pages were cut afterwards.
Good luck!

I cut out my covers seperately and let them dry. I ice the cake in bc, use a comb to make the pages. Then put on the covers- then for the spine, flat ones I put on while the fondant is still pliable. Rounded ones I dry in white wilton former and pipe a bc spine then put on the dried one. These were done visiting my dad with no cake tools at all except my airbrush. So it's pretty easy to do-especially if you want an antique look! hth

I gave some detailed directions in this recent topic.
