I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WANTS ME TO COVER A CHEESECAKE IN FONDANT. ANY IDEAS HOW AND WHICH RECIPE TO FOLLOW FOR THE CAKE?

What flavor would you like? And yes, you can do it. The great thing about cheesecake is that you can lightly frost it with cream cheese frosting to get your smooth surface.

Yep, just have a barrier (buttercream of some sort) between your cheesecake and fondant and you'll be fine.
