I've only used fondant twice. How do you to lay smooth ? when it gets to the bottom of the cake its bunched up and over lapping. Help please 
Maybe i should just give up and stick to something i know how to do.

First smooth the top so that the top of the cake has no air pockets at all.
Then lift the 'frige' of the fondant and pull it slightly before smoothing it down - like you would smooth a skirt down. You need to do this lifting, slight pulling and smoothing repeatedly all the way round the cake. You'll then need a smoother tool to get it really smooth all round. You really need to see someone do it as it's very hard to describe. Take a look at the video link that JoAnnB has given you.
