How do I get my fondant to fit perfectly around the cake. I have been having trouble with my fondant. I did my daughters birthday cake last night and put powdered sugar down which helped it froms sticking to the counter I don't usually do this. I have used crisco in the past but the powdered sugar makes it easier to pick up and put on the cake. The problem I had was that it took the color away from the cake and it just looked all dusty after that.
The other problem I am running into is the fondant wilting at the bottom of the cake and lookign all wrinkly. Is it because I have too much butter cream.
I have only been able to get my fondant perfect one time. Still struggling.
You can use a food safe brush to "sweep off the powdered sugar. Others on here use steam to clean up the apperance and make the fondant shine. I've encountered the same issue around the bottom and the bc squishes out and the fondant looks like a wrinkled skirt thats had an accident. I used less bc the next time and it helped. Maybe some of the others can give advice. Keep at it-practice makes perfect!!!! 
I think it has more to do with letting your bc crust before putting the fondant on. Also, if it gets warm, the bc might get soft and cause the fondant to slide. Make sure you're smoothing your fondant from the top down. Start at the top of the cake and smooth it around, then move down, smooth it around, and down again...until you have the whole cake covered. Make sure you have the fondant nice and stuck to the WHOLE cake.
That should also help with sliding.
