How To Cover a Cake in Fondant

4:08 looks like a hat! XD

[CassTheCoolest]

Thanks for your helpful video! I was halfway through the fondant on my first cake (a car for my son with heaps of contours to leave me with somewhat of a skirt to press out) and found it via google. Short sharp and to the point, it let me quickly watch & run back to smooth out my cake hehe. I just needed a little extra confidence to keep going with the smoothing.

[stargurl552]

wont the fondant rip up?



[maryy214]

it looks cute and perfect im hooping to do this

[miss4635]

that was really helpful

thank you

[9snaker]

Thanks for the tip with the starch - I almost forgot.

Cause I really won't like to use white sugar ^.^

[9snaker]

At first I thought these would be the hand of an old man! xD almost expelling the appetite

[LaRaNaThA]

BTW does fondant taste like regular icing? I don't think I've ever eaten it before.

[LaRaNaThA]

Thank you! I think I can, I think I can. lol

[Lulu4Him]

Do you mind sharing the recipe for the fondant?

[887leroy]

cool!!!

[alhamdullilah10]

GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU!

[TheFakeyCakeMaker]

@FieldsOfCake can I just ask what the cake was covered in before you started? Was it buttercream? If so, did you say you'd chilled the cream before applying the fondant?

[linabina102198]

this is the easiest fondant video so far the other ones always say to use a smoother fix the bubbles blah blah blah this is soo easy thank you!!

[thedeathcake]

[pretateles]

First time seen your videos and just loved them. Could you give a good recipe for fondant and how to make it? Mine just does not work... maybe you have already posted, but I have not seen it yet. Thank you and great hands!

[MeltingMusic]

[22sezza]

[SHARiiPADiLLA]

Thankk youu!. this helped a lot!.

[OhSoSquishable]

I saw another video and it dosent teach how to smoothen out the fondant. But now I know........

[elcorazonazteca]

Thank you so much! I get it now :o)

[jennao98]

i did this one time and i was really good

[forevamala]

I like. I just wish the camera was on the entire cake while you were cutting vs. just the bottom half. Great Tutorial.

[Davinagirl]

Thank you so much! Bless you! You have made it so clear and easy. I have had the worst time with the bunching.

[FieldsOfCake]

it will still work the same as long as you dust the surface well. I use my regular counter too. It's a pretty cheap counter so all should be good. Let me know how it goes!

[mrslutjen]

wht if you dnt have marble does it still work the same



[ElyLov]

sometimes you sound like Ellen :)

[333emmab]

thx so much this is such a helpful video! ive been trying to figure out how to cover a cake with fondant and this was a great video explaining it!!!

[loganwolfpack]

Much thanks, this video really was a perfect way of showing how to cover a cake. I am a guy and got interested in fondant cakes.

[beanfromex1]

excellent video, thanks for all your time and efforts!!

[TheSeeJayEe]

thanks so much!!  ^.^

[fotovidamusika]

nice vid! what layer is that on the cake itself before you apply the fondant on top? you said it's iced really smooth...is that chilled butter icing? thanks :D

[sushimama123]

Love it! My sis always says Why are you always watching that vid?

i replied what??? its fun cuz i love looking people rolling fondant..

[kuleilani]

@MissMovie2 what is the different of fondant and marzipan ? thanks for yr help

[FieldsOfCake]

thank you all for the suggestions to use powdered sugar. I have tried it and do not like using it. I prefer corn starch, it doesn't make the fondant stick to the marble as much as powdered sugar does and I have had no problem yet.

[kuleilani]

@FieldsOfCake can u eat the cornstarch raw? just wondered

[TheFakeyCakeMaker]

@FieldsOfCake I would agree. I find icing sugar makes the fondant stick. xx

[FieldsOfCake]

thank you all for the suggestions to use powdered sugar. I have tried it and do not like using it. I prefer corn starch, it doesn't make the fondant stick to the marble as much as powdered sugar does and I have had no problem yet.

[DGDIEZEL]

From what I've learned, Corn starch shouldn't be used due to a chemical reaction with any fondant. you should use powdered sugar instead.

[sushimama123]

I love my Marble... XDDD

[jessafrbacolod]

can you please help us tomorrow wth our friend's cake? =P thank you for the video 

[jessafrbacolod]

[1Love1God1Way007]

[MissE0130]

Very helpful!!

[tinyfourpaws]

Thank you SO much!!! I love this video!!! Is it pretty much the same to do a sheet cake?

[zephyrcui]

this video is really helpful! thanks for putting it up

[luv4unc53]

wow thanks this was sooo helpful im glad you used all materials that I can find at my house now my fams reunion cake will be sick

[2doodehs]

I just rewatched your video and then worked on my cake - easy, thanks to you and this video!

[Bassouneh]

HELP!!!!! My fondant melts when i try to cover the cake with it!!!!!! it doesnt hold in place! is it because i rolled it too thin or something is wrong with my mm fondant in the 1st place!!!!

[xNEMUIxKITSUNEx]

you actually should of used powdered sugar not corn starch

[2doodehs]

Brilliant! Thanks so much for this video. I'm ready to practice now!!

[mojoribs]

is tht a chilled cake? thanks

[311Letts]

I've always used cornstarch, it doesn't leave a funny taste at all. I have had problems with my fondant getting too dry and cracking, which after some research i have found that it could be because of the corn starch. I'm gonna try using powdered sugar next time and see if it helps.

[XsnowpeaX]

i love the purple gloves (:

[RoisinRoisinRoisin1]

Yes, why do you use cornstarch? Thanks for the helpful tutorial though :)

[MaxDexus]

This is not a critique, this is a genuine question: shouldn't you be using powered sugar to cover your work surface instead of cornstarch? I've been doing a lot of research on fondant (i.e. watching lots of youtube vidz, lol), and the experts mostly use sugar because among other things, cornstarch could leave a funky taste on the fondant. Also, I thought cornstarch or sugar alike should be LIGHTLY POWDERED onto the surface, not like those giant globs of cornstarch you are using.

[dopeydoodoo]

@MaxDexus I've been doing fondants too and I use cornstarch. IT doesn't affect the taste of the fondant - i mean, it still tastes the same, just not as sweet. If you want your fondant to taste sweeter, I guess you use powdered sugar, but I like my fondant not as sweet so I use cornstarch. :) It doesn't leave a funky taste on the fondant at all. :)

[xXMissPurpleXx17]

talk about

cake Boss!

[britishcutie101]

She is NOT kidding when she says make sure you lift it up every once in a while. I have had mine stick to the counter, and I had to go to EXTREME measures to get it off :/

[shimmeringstar1405]

That was an awesome demo. I have seen so many videos and read so many tutorials, but none of them were as clear as yours. The "flare like a skirt" made all the difference in my fondant . I actually put fondant on my cake in 15 mins ( thats a record for me) without any folds ( thats a bigger one). I owe it all to you. Thanks a ton.

[SLagerZahne]

Wow thats a nice cake! All that work and it's eaten in 15 minutes. But WHAT a cake!

[hockeygirl789]

you make it look so easy!

[anamneses28]

Great video! This is REALLY going to help me a lot. Thanks for a great posting with play-by-play and tips! :)

[CosplayNERD]

Where do you get fondant?

[hockeygirl789]

@CosplayNERD you can get it from walmart or michaels

[TheGreedyBaker]

you've got a cuppie print on the wall! heh, great tute too :)

[NowWatchMe2step]

Very nice and very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

[joedog5150]

Thank you for sharing this technique! It has been the best I have seen so far and your finished product came out looking flawless. I liked the way you used the knife to cut the bottom to make it perfect.

[PinkCupcake10]

Can you make a fondant without using marshmellows, cuz im a vegatarian and marshmellows have geletine in .. plz reply :)

[11moii]

@PinkCupcake10 Theres vegan marshmellown on the internet and in like whole foods 'n' stuff like that... And don't worry, theyre just as tasty!! :D

[lrusso2327]

how long should i refrigerate the cake after i frost it, before i put the fondant on?

[taylormadetreats899]

I love your method. It's so perfect and smooth. YUMMY!!!!

[hazelhuney]

I tried ur method and I had no wrinkles on the bottom!!!! THANK YOUUUU!

[hazelhuney]

I have been looking for a video that shows how to get the bottom smooth and this video helped alot! I will try your method on a cake Im making tonight!

[iAmBrendaLee]

Great video. I'm so glad to see you wearing gloves. Every video I've watched has been bare hands, and I was wondering if I would be able to wear some gloves.

[meringuebakeshop]

[meringuebakeshop]
