I am using fondant for the first time. I am practicng on cupcakes. When I put it on and try to get the sides straight it breaks on the bend. Any suggetions?

Make sure you are rolling it thick enough. You need to roll it about 1/4" thick or else it tears very easily. Also, if it is a little dry, you need to add glucose or tylose. Good luck!

you can also fix the tear with a little crisco and join it back together..good suggestion rolling it thicker that will help you alot

ditto. goog luck!
