Help! I'm new to using fondant, and I just tried cutting 5 inch long stripes out of fondant. I measured, lined everything up, but when I went to cut with my cutting wheel, the fondant splooshed out and the end went off to the opposite side. So my stripes ended up kind of wavy.
Any suggestions?
add a little powdered tylose to the fondant, roll it out and let it sit 5 minutes before you cut. It will be stiffer and more stable. HTH
Muakkpsi, here's another option for your files - make 'fabric' out of SugarVeil Icing, and use scissors to cut strips from SugarVeil for your cake stripes. Here's a tutorial that shows this and several other techniques: http://www.sugarveil.com/information/pdf/amcd-flowerfaces.pdf
