I am making 1/2 sheet cakes, 4 cakes high. What do you suggest to do with fondant? One piece? Or piece it together?
And if I should piece it together, how do I butt up the fondant edges to make it look right? Is there a trick to this? Is there a way to smooth them together?
I just thought that I could actually extend the side fondant pieces up over the top because I'm doing a building where this is how it actually is - the roof is kind of inset in the sides.
How would the fondant hold up to this?
I still have the seams on the corners of the building, unless maybe I could make a piece of fondant large/long enough to wrap around the building and then just do a top separately.
HELP!
When you say 4 layers tall... do you mean that the end product will be 4" or 8" or more?? Regardless, I would probably just cover it with one really big piece. I know its kind of a PIA, but I think trying to patch and smooth seams (which will NOT go away completely) would be a bigger one.
Its 4 cakes high, not tiers. So at 2" per cake, it'd be about 8 inches high.
I think i'm redesigning it a little bit, it'll be 3 cakes high now and about 18" x 18". I do think this may be doable with one large piece of fondant.
I'm still curious on how to butt fondant edges together though, for future projects.
Also, there's a lot of detail decoration going on the sides of this cake, would you recommend decorating before or after its on the cake? I'm assuming after its on because of stretching. But it would be so easy to do it flat first.
You have to do it once it's on the cake- would get all messed up if you did it flat. Plus, you wouldn't be able to smooth it. Have fun, and good luck!!
