Black And White Marbled Fondant Covered Cake

Red velvet with white chocolate ganache and cream cheese frosting filling

I literately cannot successfully cover a cake in fondant... what am I doing wrong? It always break and I have to mush it back together. Otherwise this cake tasted great and was a success. Made it for my guy friend's 33rd birthday at the theatre we rented out for black panther.

Very nice!  Working with fondant takes practice.  Be sure to knead your fondant really well before rolling it out to cover a cake.  You need to activate the elasticity of the fondant.  I knead a good 10 minutes before rolling it out to cover a cake.  Also don't roll out too much, or you have too much to work with.  If the fondant you have isn't working for you try another brand.  I use Satin Ice exclusively.  I love it and struggle with other brands, but everyone is different.  Hope that helps.  For a 6" cake roll out 600 grams of fondant, 7" - 700 grams and so on.  A double barrel cake will require more, this is for your standard 4" high cakes.
