I completed my latest cake yesterday....a pair of flip flops for the neighborhood block party. Everyone loved them...I too was very pleased with the outcome...but I am having lots of trouble rolling out the fondant!!! I think I roll it out too thick and you can tell when it is the cake. Also, how do you apply the fondant on your cake...I mean...do you roll it onto a rolling pin....I cant even do that....it just starts to stick!!!

If you had problems, it sure doesn't look like it. They look PERFECT and the fondant work looks great. I do roll my fondant onto a rolling pin, it is greased some what from just rolling out, so I don't have problems with it sticking.

Thank you. It just seems like the fondant was rolled out too thick...I can never get the right thickness. As far as rolling it onto a rolling pin....my fondant is greased too...but it just seems to stick. I think I am going to try powdered sugar instead of crisco....maybe that will work better.
I've also used powedered sugar and that works as well.
I roll out my fondant on a non stick mat....I purchased from ateco. It works well....but I have get the mat and place it on the cake then peel off the fondant....HATE DOING THAT!!! I want to be able to roll my fondant onto the rolling pin and just place on my cake....I guess the trick is to use A LOT of powdered sugar or cornstarch and then try to roll it on the rolling pin....but will this dry out my fondant?
I think they are adorable and if you had issues I cannot see them. I have my wilton rolling pin that has spacers you slide on the ends. It helps keep the thickness consistant.
