How to choose your covering fondant
3 selection criteria. Flexibility: Saracino Pasta Top and Smartflex Velvet are the most flexible, easy to roll out without cracking. Coverage: Renshaw Extra and Funcakes have excellent opacity, essential for white wedding cakes. Durability: for cakes prepared 24-48 hours in advance, prefer Smartflex Velvet which does not soften with humidity. Allergies: Funcakes and Renshaw are available gluten-free.
Covering technique
Step 1: coat the cake with buttercream ganache, smooth it, then refrigerate for 30 minutes. Step 2: roll out the fondant on a surface dusted with cornstarch, thickness 3-5 mm, diameter = (cake diameter + 2 × height). Step 3: lift the fondant with the rolling pin, place it on the cake. Step 4: smooth from the center to the edges with a smoother, pushing out air. Step 5: cut the excess with a cutter, smooth the edges.
