I'm making a cake that someone requested to look like this:

Does anyone have tips on how to best cover this in fondant? The cake I'm making is only one flavor, but the picture looks like the cake was cut in half and each side was covered separately. I'm afraid if I cut in though it might not come back together nicely. The person I'm making it for is very particular though so I do want to make it look as close as possible. Thanks!

Well, here (Czech republic) you can buy the pan in this form. Here is an excellent example, unfortunately not mine cake

Best you can do without the pan is to draw the form on paper and make a template and cut around it. Try to piece it back on paper to avoid possible problems.

Could you use the paisley set wilton has out now? (I haven't seen them in person to know if it would work for sure)

Thanks for the example! I was more worried about whether or not I should cut the cake in half to make the design, since it's the same flavor anyways. But from the example, it does seem better and easier if I do.

There were two cakes covered separately I don't know the name of the shape...but I have seen it on many cake supply sites. hth

it kinda looks like my comma pans

Is that what they are called? Thats what they look like, I was thinking haha....

I think that is what they are called maybe I am wrong but I thought they were lol

It is a yinyang symbol

That's just a round pan cut in yin yang stile, you don't need any special pans.
Cut it, cover the separated pieces and then put together again.
