I remember a while ago there was a thread where someone had posted a link to a tutorial on how to do "smooth fondant stripes" like in the following picture... (cake belongs to franjmc on flicker). The tutorial was written in German i believe but had great pictures to illustrate how to do it. I have searched and searched and i can't find it and was dumb enough not to save the link...

Anyone happen to remember what thread or saved the link?

TIA

Ta Da!!!!!

Just go through her flickr pics, written in german ( I think) but self explanatory. I have used it myself. either scroll forwards or back, cant remember.

I am sure this is the one you meant, right?

Thanks vcm_9! You are awesome, that was exactly what i was looking for! I have a practise cake baked to try it out on with the actual cake due next saturday. Wish me luck

GOOD LUCK...a;thpugh, it seems harder than it is. I tried it, but without my equiptment (I was interstate)...and it still turned out ok...a bit wonky though. Just try not to stretch the fondant, and keep pushing it back into a straight line. Oh, and keep the strips on the bench covered so they dont dry out. I forgot and couldnt smooth it properly once they were all on. (smoothing it with a birthday card cause you dont have your smoothers doesnt help either )

Out some pics up when you are fifnished!!
