Hi! I am creating my grandmother's wedding cake (she is pretty brave, thought, since I have only decorated three cakes so far). I did a sample layer, just for practice, and I can't seem to get the fondant to be nice and smooth on the cake. It is a round cake. The top is smooth but the sides are all bumpy and messed up. Can someone tell me the proper way to put the fondant on a round cake??? Thanks so much 
Here ya go hun, a video from ateco on how to cover cakes with fondant Just click the "satin Icing... " tutorials there are three of them. And watch how the guys does it.

carve the cake the shape you want it and don't put too much icing on the sides. One ccer advised to touch it as little as possible, using two fondant smoothers rather then just one.
