Hi all,
Hoping to get a little insight on this. I have a 10" cube to cover with fondant. Has anyone covered a huge cake w/o problems? I'm mostly concerned with the fondant ripping than anything else. I think I need a few extra hands for this too. Any thoughts/suggestions/prayers are appreciated =)
What is your design? The easiest way to do it is to cut 10in panels and then smooth the joins together.
The easiest way I've found to cover large cakes, is by investing in a big sheet of vinyl (thanks to other CC'ers recommendations! (Walmart has it in their fabric department. I got a 54x40 sheet for only $2.58!) I cut it down to about 40x40 to make it easier to handle...
I roll it a little thicker, and then pick up the entire vinyl sheet and flip it over the cake. Then, just peel it off, and start smoothing!
Good Luck!

it's a cube that I'm making into a "movie award" theme cake, the top is going to be a walk of fame star with the bday girl's name and I made "film strips" to attach to the sides. Making pieces sounds so easy but makes me nervous at the same time... thanks for the tip
