I just covered my first cake with fondant yesterday (zebra cake in pics) and all I have is a standard wood rolling pin. I found out very quickly that there is a reason fondant rolling pins exist.

What fondant rolling pin do you use? Or how do you roll your fondant out for covering cakes and cutting out decorations?

TIA

I actually use a long piece of 1" PVC pipe.

I have a long plastic fondant rolling pin I think it's 22" but it's warped and makes my fondant really wonky with thick and thin areas.

what is the issue you are having with your current wooden pin?

I use the big Wilton fondant rolling pin and it works fine.

If you have a vinyl mat you can actually roll fondant and invert the mat over the cake and peel the mat off. I find this easy to work with.

Some people roll the fondant over the rolling pin and unroll it over the cake.

I use an 18" wooden rolling pin.
