Covering A Large Cake With Fondant
Decorating By tara842 Updated 21 Oct 2005 , 1:14pm by peacockplace
I am making a cake and it is 14". I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to cover it in Fondant after I have the crumb coat on it. I tried rolling it out and wrapping it around my rolling pin and all it cares to do is fall apart on me I thought all you nice people might be able to give me some advice!
Thanks
I like to roll the fondant out on a large piece of fairly heavy vinyl from the fabric store. (20 gauge is perfect and is only about 3 or 4 dollars a yard) Then I pick up the whole thing, turn it over carefully while the fondant is adhering to the vinyl and center it over the cake. Put it down carefully and peel the vinyl off the fondant. It really helps with a cake this big, if you can do it with another person, so I try to do the big ones when my husband is around.
Hope this helps.
