I did my first cake covered in chocolate ganache prior to covering in fondant. Like someone else said on the forum I WILL NEVER USE BUTTERCREAM AGAIN UNDER FONDANT. I am totally buttercream challenged!!!! I would have gladly paid someone to ice my cakes, but now I have ganache so there's no need (hope they can slice through everything). Thank you so much to everyone who posts with their tips and how to's. I would probably have quit by now if it wasn't for you guys! thanks to annakguzzo for her inspiration. 
I am my no means an expert on this. This was my first time using it. I spread it on like you would frosting and smoothed it out with a bench scraper. Hope this helps!
Oh and run the bench scraper under very hot water, be sure to dry it, then smooth out. Good Luck! It's wonderful!
