How to cover a cake in fondant flawlessly
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июн 2019
- One of the things I really struggled with in the beginning of my cake decorating career was how to cover a cake in fondant and get a clean finish. How to get super sharp edges, get that cake board edge covered up and basically look like a professional! In this tutorial I'm going to show you all my tricks I have learned over the last 11 years of cake decorating and everything I wish I had known when I was a beginner.

"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.
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
Best fondant tutorial ever. Seriously. Thank you for sharing this!
I totally agreed. Easiest for beginner like me
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!
Lady you are a Goldmine! I have learned SO much from you. Thank you for all your expertise and willingness to share it.
Great video!!! This was soooo helpful.😍😍😍
Awesome! Today I learned a new technique on how to make my sharp fondant edges .... I am so happy!
Thank you so much dear Liz.
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!😁😁
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
I love your videos. I also think your kitchen is beautiful. You have a very natural gift for teaching us all how to do this right. Thank you.
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!!!!!
I’ve tried this and love the clean bottom. Still working to get the sharp edges really sharp.
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 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 ❤

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!!!!
Jessica Castillo thank you Jessica!
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

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!
Thank you so much Liz!
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
Great job ma,GOD bless you thanks for sharing.

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.
Thank you Liz!!!
Awesome Trick !!

Beautiful!!
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.
Brilliant!!! Thank you!
