I completed my latest cake yesterday....a pair of flip flops for the neighborhood block party. Everyone loved them...I too was very pleased with the outcome...but I am having lots of trouble rolling out the fondant!!! I think I roll it out too thick and you can tell when it is the cake. Also, how do you apply the fondant on your cake...I mean...do you roll it onto a rolling pin....I cant even do that....it just starts to stick!!!

If you had problems, it sure doesn't look like it. They look PERFECT and the fondant work looks great. I do roll my fondant onto a rolling pin, it is greased some what from just rolling out, so I don't have problems with it sticking.

I've also used powedered sugar and that works as well.

I recently purchased a very economical marble rolling pin and non-slip dough mat from amazon and have had no more issues with sticking.

use corn starch, lots and lots of it. Then paint it with everclear to get rid of the excess corn starch.

Make sure you use the corn starch on the surface you are rolling onto and on top of the fondant. You will be amazed.

I roll out my fondant on a non stick mat....I purchased from ateco. It works well....but I have get the mat and place it on the cake then peel off the fondant....HATE DOING THAT!!! I want to be able to roll my fondant onto the rolling pin and just place on my cake....I guess the trick is to use A LOT of powdered sugar or cornstarch and then try to roll it on the rolling pin....but will this dry out my fondant?

I think they are adorable and if you had issues I cannot see them. I have my wilton rolling pin that has spacers you slide on the ends. It helps keep the thickness consistant.

I agree with the corn starch. I just recently switched first form crisco to powdered sugar then from powdered sugar to corn starch and it is amazing!!!!

i mix cornstarch and powdered sugar 50/50 works for me
