Wedding Shower
All MMF, orange trim in BC, 18 orange fresh roses, Mandarin Orange cake w/ Orange Marmalade Cream Filling. Does anyone have any suggestions for applying the fondant to the cake better??? This was a nightmare :(, it came out so sloppy & uneven. These are the wedding colors & despite all the trouble, everyone liked it, and it did at least Taste Good! :)
I find that if I elevate my cake and lay the fondant on top and just smooth the sides before cutting off the excess, it works great.
I love the colors!
I think it's a pretty cake, especially with all those fresh flowers. As for your mmf issue -- it really depends on the consistency and thickness of the mmf. If it's rolled too thin, it will show any bumps or unevenness underneath. If it's too dry, it will crack (doesn't look like your issue), and if it's too soft, it can dimple (could be the issue here.) But, overall, I think it looks very nice.
Thank you! Does anyone know of a tutorial or forum where it explains the technical way to apply the fondant. I just kind of flopped it on top, and couldn't get it to be smooth all the way around.... :roll: :roll:
