What do I use to cover a cake board like this:

Is it fondant? Whenever I use fondant it always gets all nasty and sticky under the cake.

Hi there, I use to cover the whole board few days ahead, but I have stoped doing that. Now I use the bandage method. Here is a great tutorial,

HTH.

bashini, why did you stop covering the whole board? is the bandage method easier or was there some other con?

You can always put a cake board between the cake layer and the fondant board.

oh sry, bashini i guess you stopped covering the whole board for the same reason ... i need coffee ...
