I have just finished my first dummy cake for my portfolio, got pictures taken and realized I do not like my draping. I need to redo it.

I have the fondant draping down from one tier to the next but when I did the draping, it all bunched up and was skinny without much "flow" to it. What did I do wrong and how do I fix this?
*I used straight fondant and rolled it very thin.

I have the picture of my cake posted below so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about. And suggestions would be appreciated as I have only done one other fondant cake so I have not much experience

Looks like you needed to have wider or bigger pieces of fondant to make it look flowy (sp) but I am sure some real experts will weigh in on this for you.

you simply need to roll wider pieces i also dont like to roll it Too thin, but not as thick as i would to cover the cake . . But a little thickness helps to bulk it out

Try adding a second layer right beside the first drape - it will make it twice the width.

Makes total sense

I will give it a try and see how it works. Thanks so much guys!

Should I add any gumpaste to the fondant to help it hold up a bit better?

I wouldn't add any gumpaste to the fondant - it might make it too stiff to drape naturally, and you really don't need it. Most wide drapes are made in more than one piece, so everyone's advice to put in another drape beside the first one is right on the money.

I think you did a beautiful job! I would like to try the draping, and yours looks great. It's also a great idea to add multiple pieces to add width.

Cake looks great. I am glad adding the extra draping worked.

I have to say I liked your original cake, but with the added width in the drapes, it's really gorgeous! Glad it worked for you! Now all I need to do is put my money where my mouth is and try to make some that pretty myself.
