- When rolling fondant, sprinkle some cornstarch on the surface to help prevent sticking.
- Knead your fondant really well before rolling it out so that it's workable and rolls easily without tearing.
- Try to roll your fondant to be about 1/8 to 1/6 of an inch thick.
- If your fondant rips, you can use a little bit of shortening on your fingers to gently repair it (don't use
water because it dissolves the sugar in the fondant and will make it sticky)
- Use a rolling mat that is marked in inches so that you know how wide you've rolled your fondant. This will
make it easier to know when you've rolled the fondant enough so that it will easily cover your cake.
- Use a thin layer of frosting under the fondant to help it stick to the cake. If you're placing white fondant
on chocolate cake, use a white frosting under the fondant so that the cake does not show through.
- It just takes a dab of water to attach fondant decorations to a fondant cake.
- Wrapped fondant can be stored for 1-2 months at room temperature.
