Hi ladies (and gents)
I've read and re read posts about ripping fondant and I've tried everything. My MMF keeps ripping. I roll it thick thick thick and do what has been suggested to add crisco/ps but nothing... I attempt to put it on the cake and the whole thing rips right off the rolling pin. (I roll it around the pin then roll it off onto the cake)
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it!
thank you all so much!!!

I think it's a combination of the heat/humidity right now. It's killing my fondant.
So far I've taken buttercream and smoothed it to be like "glass" and I think I'm going to move forward with that and leave my fondant to fight another day.
I did try the mat trick too... I feel like I've tried every solution LOL
Also, I think I need to get some sleep, the fondant wins today, but tomorrow it won't be so lucky 
thank you for your response!!! =D
In my experience ripping fondant means it's just too dry...adding more crisco has always solved the problem for me...are you giving it a really good kneading before you use it?
Humm...well...shoot, I don't know what to tell you my dear...sometime's that stuff just won't behave I guess. Sure glad you got your buttercream to work for you though!!! Sorry I can't help with the MMF. Linda

thanks for your response =) sometimes things run smoothly and sometimes they don't
and the buttercream worked better than I ever could have hoped to. I have a pic of the cake in my photos. It's a little out of the ordinary but they loved it! =D
If you're pretty sure that heat is the problem, could you do something to cool your work area? A window AC unit, turn up the air in the whole house, etc? Maybe even a bag full of ice, wrapped in paper towels to keep it dry, and run it across the fondant when it's rolled out?
