Why Is My Fondant Tearing/pulling On The Corners Of My Cake
Decorating By TBEANZ Updated 12 Jun 2011 , 9:21am by TBEANZ
Hey guy's,
Thanks for looking.
So i was wondering if some one would be able to help me in my fondant covering techique?
When i cover my cake in fondant it has a pulling or tearing look on the corners which doesnt look too professional. I try to roll my fondant thinish so the weight doesnt pull it down but the pullinng still happens.
Please look at my attached pic so you can see exactly what i am talking about. I would love to hear some expert opinions.
Have no idea how to attach a photo so please click on my images and i will upload my photo there
Thanks again for looking
I had that happen all the time. It will be your fondant more than anything else. I doctored my store bought fondant with Jennifer Dontz's fondant recipe. She basically adds chocolate so the elasticity is improved. You have to buy the DVD to get the recipe.

I had issues with tearing with I used the following:
1) Satin Ice by itself
2) Homemade MMF
What has worked was me mixing Satin Ice with Wilton Premade Fondant. I mix 1 box Wilton to about 2lbs Satin Ice. Never had a tear since. My customers like the taste too...more than Wilton or SI by themselves.
