"By the time you're done, your back should be killing you. That's how you know you did it right!" I literally laughed & totally agree! Great video. Thank you!
I just dropped my jaw. I could never figure out how to get the sharp edge on the top of the cake and you've just shown me. OMG! You have just revolutionized my covering of my cake. Thank you.
I enjoy and appreciate all of your tutorials and tips you share, and I love your sense of humor and personality that comes through in these videos. My experience with cake decorating is minimal, as my interest in learning it is fairly new, although I have been cooking and baking for many years, and I love to paint, which seems to me to be somewhat related. All of this now takes on much more importance, as my son recently got engaged! And he and his bride have told me they would love for me to do the cake! (No pressure, right?) so I am trying out a number of cake recipes and decorating techniques, etc. thankfully they are planning for a long engagement, so I have some time to practice and get everything just right. But one challenge is that the bride is feeling very overwhelmed with all of the decisions, and is such a sweet girl and is more concerned about what her guests will like, as far as cake, than her own preference, which is making the decision very stressful for her. I think we may go with half and half vanilla and chocolate- keep it simple and traditional- and just use the absolute highest quality flavors and ingredients that I can get my hands on. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you how very helpful and important these tutorials are proving to be for me!
Yesssssssss I’ve been experimenting with fondant for a little bit and kept getting elephant skin EVERY time! 😩 it was pretty discouraging. For some reason all of the other tutorials I watched did not fully explain the importance of conditioning the fondant beforehand. And while I’d knead it I guess I didn’t condition it to where it needed to be. THANK YOU
Hi from Australia. i have been making my families cakes for over forty years and have always used a piece of PVC pipe. when i started this hobby i was a single parent and could not afford all the tricks of the trade. i still have the original piece of pipe and he (ha ha) works just as well still as he did when i first used him. i was so pleased to hear you suggest this as i feel people can spend a fortune on the bits and pieces and probably not use them again. they either end up as land fill or in a thrift shop - nothing wrong with the latter. i am preparing to make my sister's 70th birthday cake (and this will be the third PURPLE cake i have made her) and found your post as i was checkinig out new methods because it is now probably 3 years since my last effort for someone. i have to say i enjoyed your post and look forward to watching more. thank you
Today is my little sister's birthday and I tried the (LMF) method. I also covered a cake using your amazing upside-down method and I have to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for sharing this technique it helped me sooooo much, I'm so proud of myself and my sis loved her cake,I wish I could share the pictures lol! Thank you!😁😁
This is the best, most informed video ive watched for using fondant! I stopped using fondant on cakes partly because I could never get it right when transferring to cakes, I am now gonna start using it again. THANK YOU!!!!
So glad I came across ur video. I usually work with buttercream but I'm about to do a fondant cake for my friends wedding. Alot of trust is being put on me. I've been watching videos left and right hoping to crash course myself on things I might not know. I shall be following ur video from A to Z. Thanks heaps!
U make it look so easy!! I'm gonna be making my first fondant covered cake this sunday!!hope it works cos it's for my daughters birthday on that same day. No room for errors
OMG, I am so going to try this method of kneading, I have been kneading it like bread dough, I never thought of kneading it like taffy. And thank you for showing the right consistancy
I seriously have to thank you, this video leveled up my fondant skills! Especially the covering part but more than that . The tip about the "poof" tool is so good wow! I have to try your marshamallo fondant next
You are the best! You are informative, entertaining, but stay authentic. I love all the info you give, plus you seem genuine and not playing up to get more views. Your awesomeness is why you are fo sho a favorite of mine. Thank you for all your videos!!!!!
This video saved my skin! I've done all kinds of things with fondant but I've always been petrified of covering a cake in fondant. I recently risked taking an order for a fondant covered cake and have been nervous ever since. Your video made it soooooo easy. Thank you!!!
I was just looking for a super quick refresher since it's been quite some time since I did my last cake thanks to the pandemic. Instead, I found this video which taught me some new things and made the job even easier for me as well as more professional looking. THANK YOU for this video!
Liz, thank you for continuing to share your tips and tricks. I have been using your fondant recipe for the past three years and love it. And, congratulations on your pregnancy! xoxo
Wow, I've watched several videos in the last hour and I think I love you lol! You've got a great personality and explain everything so well! I'm making my own wedding cake in March 2020 and you've really just boosted my confidence! I subscribed btw! Thanks doll! ❤
I'm so impatient! This was an awesome video I felt I'd heard it all when I got toward the end and I started looking up "how to get sharp fondan..." when you flipped it 😂 loved it! Thank you
Thank you so much for this video. I'm really trying to learn how to make cakes and do things like that. I might be running back to your channel a lot!!!
Thank you so much! I've struggled for years with covering cakes. I have one coming soon that I need to cover and I will definitely be following your advice!
Thank you for this. My daughter is a teen baker and has been getting orders for fondant cakes, in which we're not there yet to accept. But we will practice (and by we, I'm referring to her lol) until she gets it right. Perfect tutorial. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this tutorial and the recipe! It is a total game changer. It was so easy and looks 1000% better than any cake I’ve covered with Wilton or satin ice. I’m so relieved! I️ can now confidently take fondant cake orders!
Your way of explanation is just awsmmmm...i was just thinking to use fondant on my cake for the very first time and u made it a lot easier...thank u so much!
OH MY LORD THANK YOU I'm making my own cake for my 13th Birthday and i had no clue how to cover the cake with fondant 💜❤ you just saved my birthday thank you so so so much
I'm not liz obviously but if you rub you finger up.amd down thendeams.dtraiggtnaeay that makes mines disappear its to do with all.on you skin or you could try making the paste if your fingers don't work and the fondant smoothers don't work for you then have all worked for me in the end. Hope that helps ❤
Awesome tutorial. Thanks a million for this insight. In my country,if you refrigerate your cake after frosting,the fondant will sweat. How can I avoid it.
Yes it happens with me as well .. live in a humid weather too .. so I've heard it should be stored in a cardbox into the fridge to avoid sweating after u take it out .. haven't tried that .. I just make it the same day and leave it out But It seems not the best thing to do as in a hot weather.. the buttercream melts underneath the fondant and it gets wrinkly... So ... I'll try the box method ... But if we get some help here on how to store a previously made fondant cake the right way .. I am allll ears 😄 Anyone can help?!!
Hi Liz...I have been absolutely terrified of working with fondant. I'm still working up the courage to start as of a few moments ago. I think if I watch this a few hundred times, I might actually give it a go lol. Thanks for sharing Xoxox
You’re awesome!! Will covering chilled cake cause any sweating after covering it with fondant? Or is there any temperature adjustment that needs to be made in the refrigerator?
I swear baking channels are so underrated especially this one😭 Content farms on the other hand who put out either fake/regurgitated content get so much attention🙁 Thank you so much for teaching us! ❤️❤️❤️
Great video thanks Liz. I think I know were I'm going wrong with my sharp edge, I'm pressing far to hard causing excess sugarpaste lip around the top edge. I going to try upside down and rub gentle x
Liz i have another question how many days should I make a styrofoam dummy for a cake that I need? Will it still be soft? I am doing a 3 tier cake but the 6/8/ 10" but the 10" will be a fake for the cake bottom. Cake is for Sunday so today is Wednesday can I make this today and it still be ok for Sunday.
Your video is very informative and inspiring to try this impossible looking fondant cake. But I have got few queries. Which type of creams or frosting can be used for layering & frosting on top of the cake for covering the cake with fondant. We are not fond of butter cream. So please do suggest any other frosting. Also do you soak the layering of the cake in sugar syrup before filling of the cake with cream to retain the moistness. This query too is for the fondant covered cake. Regards
Hi will definitely try your tips and tricks...however, is it posibble to use creamcheese frosting instead of buttercream? Your opinion is highly appreciated 😊
Ma. Geraldine Soriano hi thanks so much! You definitely cannot use cream cheese frosting or whipped cream under the fondant. Both will cause the fondant to melt off the sides of the cake. You can however use them as fillings in your cake and then cover the outside in buttercream
Thank you so much for this great tutorial. Just wondering if the cake needs to be covered with anything before we put the fondant on to help it adhere.
My first fondant. Oh, my! Can I do this? Went to Hobby Lobby and bought Sunny Side Up Bakery fondant. Will this brand be ok? Thank you so much for your great video. Inspiring for sure!
Liz you’re the best!!! I saw you first on “Is It Cake?” and yuh were such a BOSS!!! I just covered my very first cake in fondant with the help of your video and it’s looking good. Thank you so much for helping bakers everywhere ❤

Hi. Love your videos. Can I ask a question. Which is better to work on a frozen cake or chilled cake when working with fondant? And if working with buttercream should I do the same... Ooh I love your expensive cornstarch puff... 😉
Hi Liz! I love your channel and finally just subscribed!! :) You have such great content. I am new to fondant and have been struggling as I live in a warm climate. I have seen you said that sweating is normal and ok. I was wondering about the right type of frosting to use as some other youtubers say we must use a crusting buttercream.... What is your advice on this please?
@@SugarGeekShow Perfect! Thank you! I am being extremely brave and am attempting to make a tiered LMF fondant covered white velvet cake with handmade flowers and hand painted details and maybe some 3D figurines/embellishments. Do you recommend the Ermine frosting for this project? I've also been eyeballing your Swiss Buttercream recipe! I have watched all of your vids countless times to make sure I have the best chance of getting this right the first time. Wish me luck! (P.S. the cake is for my daughter's birthday 09/01)
Hi!! How much buttercream do you put before putting the fondant on your cake? Do you only crumb coat it before fondant or put the second coat of buttercream before putting g the fondant?
Emily Carmouche Love your tutorial! This is so helpful! I’m just starting out and not very experienced with using fondant. If I were to complete a fondant covered cake the day before the event, would that result in the fondant drying out? Or do you suggest decorating fondant cakes the day of your event to avoid that? Thanks in advance for your response!
Thanks for your very informative toturial..question after you cover your cake with fondant and finished decorating it do you put it back in the fridge? It will sweat when you put it out right? How will you handle it? I just subscribe on your channel..thank you
Why do some pple make fondant thick to cover the cakes? Someone once told me because the buttercream do become soft after a while n u will start to see the wrinkles or indents. Is this so? Is thick more prefer to do panel method
Wow such a lovely video. My question is if I put a hole at the middle of the cake after covering it with fondant and allow it to sit out on the counter, will there still be bulging? Thanks please kindly respond 🙏
Ooo Im going to try this! Once you have done this do you just leave the fondant covered cake out on the side? Once the cake has been in the fridge and then you can covered the cold cake in fondant does it create a wet, condensed look on the fondant? X
I usually keep my cakes chilled until a few hours before I eat them so that they don't bulge or get soft during delivery. If your fondant sweats then just let it come to room temperature. Sweating does not harm the fondant.

When you chill your cake do you put it up in the freezer or normal fridge
If I need it in like 30 mins, the freezer. If not for a few hours and it’s already frosted, the fridge. And after I’m done decorating, the fridge 😊

Which type of creams or frosting can be used for layering & frosting on top of the cake for covering the cake with fondant. We are not fond of butter cream. So please do suggest any other frosting.

I usually keep my cakes chilled until a few hours before I eat them so that they don't bulge or get soft during delivery. If your fondant sweats then just let it come to room temperature. Sweating does not harm the fondant.
Hi its my first time making fondant making my daughters cake. Does fondant cake travel will. need to be on road for 6 hours?
