How-To Fondant Video????
Decorating By chrissysconfections Updated 20 Aug 2007 , 1:52pm by chrissysconfections
OK so I tried my first attempt at covering a cake in fondant this weekend and it was a DISASTER!! I ended up doing a faux fondant CBTC instead which was OK except my RI animals and what not started melting before they got to the fair! Well not really melting, more like some bleeding on the lighter colored ones but I know it won't make it all week over there in the elements and with dueling icings. Anywho..... Got another fair next week I MUST cover at least ONE of these in fondant, I'm hoping it won't be as bad since 1.) the fondant doesn't have to be colored first so I don't have to worry about how much I need 2.) My fondant shipment will be in (20lbs) and 3.) It's a round cake not square.
I know there are articles on this website and in just about every cake decorating book out there but I'm looking for a video. I'm the type that can see it once and be able to do it but to read it and try to figure it out it almost a waste of time. Most things I can get that way but this fondant stuff totally escapes me. It just can't be as hard as I'm making it!!
Does anyone know if there are video's out there?? Something I can get this week!?!? I've already checked my local library and it's network with the other libraries and there's nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Here's one but its a little dated but still holds true: http://www.thecakeladyonline.com/crafting.html
I think you are better off going to www.youtube.com and searching on fondant. I found lots of great free videos there.
Good luck at the fair and have fun!
these videos really helped me. On the last one watch the satin ice videos.
If you have the $$, Scott Clark Woolley has an excellent fondant video, "The Heart of Cake Decorating." He goes into making it, covering the cake, etc. etc. Very helpful (but pricey.) Hope that helps some! 
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
These are GREAT!!
