Best Way To Make Fondant Circles On A Cake

I was wondering what is the best way to make circles to put on a fondant covered cake. I use chocolate clay mixed with fondant but I'm not happy with how lumpy and distorted they get when I put them on the cake. So is there a technique or recipe that would help me out?
. . . do you let them dry slightly before you actually put them on your cake . . . or do you try to attach them immediately . . . I would think if they had a chance to set up some that they would be less inclined to become misshapen . . .
A healthy dose of cornstarch on my vinyl rolling mat and the circles don't stick so there's less chance of losing their shape. I also make sure my fondant is pretty firm-I usually add some tylose to it. But you could also add extra powdered sugar to firm it up.
