Hello. I was wondering if there is a trick, or even an easier way to make fondant all even, and look smoother? And also, what should the thickness be for the best outcome on cakes.
Thank you!!

well, im not sure which method you are currently using, but i like using a plastic fondant smoother. they're pretty inexpensive. it also helps to not have too much buttercream under neath the fondant. too much BC will make it look lumpy and bulgy. its a fine line, and you sorta have to just try it and see what works. i like having my fondant about 1/4 inch think. i just eyeball it. i know that some people roll it thinner, to 1/8 inch. hope this helps!

I actually use a very thick layer of buttercream under all my fondant. If your cake is not smooth it will show tenfold in the fondant. Knead your fondant til it is very smooth. Kneading will make it stretch alot more. I roll mine 1/8 inch thick.

I recently learned from my cake instructor the buttercream underneath your fondant has to be smooth any bumps or imperfections would only be more noticeable on the fondant. Not too thin fondant would help too.
