Applying Fondant To A Pillow Cake
Decorating By Stella2010 Updated 16 Aug 2010 , 8:07pm by Stella2010
Do you apply the fondant as one piece that tucks in under the cake or is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!

Here's a tutorial on Youtube I found. HTH a little
i saw that show to and liked the way she put it on, she put it on the top, then cut a semi circle not very high from peak to peak, same for all side's, and put twisted rope fondant with fringe on the corners, she held up the rope with toothpicks till it dried, i can't wait to try the pillow, some times when you go on the site they will show a video,
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA!
Heres a good step by step.

im thinging of making the pillow cake in a coupple of months for my daughter does anyone know if a 12x18 cake pan is a good size. or what size did anyone use ? to get an nice size pillow. thats not to small. thanks
You basicly can use any shape pan to make a cushion but you are looking at cutting away an inch at least each side so a 12 inch square will reduce down to a 10 ich. I would recommend doing a practise run on a small cake before the real thing so you get to see the dimensions. The good thing is you can always make cake pops with the left overs (not that there are any wih my DH).
Thanks everyone. The tutorials are very helpful. I'll post a picture when I've completed the pillow.
