Hello!! I will be doing my first boob with torso cake, and I was wondering how to roll such a large piece of fondant, and how do I put it on such a large piece cake without any wrinkles or rips?
i roll fondant on a sheet of vinyl (the clear stuff that's soft and flexible and used to protect table clothes ) -- have several sizes for different needs.
advantages:
> easy to get it very smooth
> fondant "clings" to vinyl well enough that you just flip the whole thing over on top of the cake and then peel the vinyl away -- no rips or tears (that is until you mess up the smoothing 
)
you can get vinyl in fabric stores -- it's on a roll and they cut to length. I got a 3' foot wide piece full width of roll and then cut it into several different size pieces.

Thanks, Do I need to add crisco or anything to the vinyl so that the fondant doesn't stick?
I use a large wilton mat and I usually rub some crisco on the mat before rolling a large piece of fondant to make sure that when I roll it on my roller that it don't stick to the mat.
