im having a few problems with my fondant icing and i wondered if any of you kind people could tell me whether its something im doing and what i can do to rectify the issue.
when im icing a cake, i roll out the fondant and cover the cake and it seems to look like its stretching on the edges
first i thought i was using to little fondant and it was too thin so i tried more but thats just as bad! also wondered whether i was making it too dry with too much icing sugar when rolling so i tried less and it all just stuck to my work surface! i dont know what im doing but i have to keep disguising the stretch marks and id like to know how to get it perfect.
hope you can help! thanks ![]()
Do you roll your fondant out on vinyl or silpat? I have found this to be pretty simple, because you can "flip" it onto your cake. If I try to roll out my fondant and pick it up, I stretch it. Also, if your cake isn't sturdy enough to withstand the weight, it looks like it stretches as well.
I also was having problems with the rolling out part, until I read a tutorial that said to roll the fondant over your rolling pin, then unroll it over the cake. It worked like a charm.
im buying my fondant. i live im the uk and i purchased it from our local cake making shop. ive tried putting it over the rolling pin but its still the same, i like the idea of rolling it onto vinyl though perhaps that might work!
thanks for your help everyone!
