I'm a home baker, I made a cake and I rolled out the fondant too thin! Now my cake is sort of see thru. Well, here is a video to tell you what I do to fix it.
Why are you all asking the same question when it has already been answered? Simple Baking I really admire your patience in answering the same question over and over again.
I would love to see a tutorial on using the new magic chocolate it is so much better than fondant and people actually enjoy eating it are you going to do it tutorial on it please
Laurie Reese Laurie Reese I haven’t tried magic chocolate yet.... I have tried making modeling chocolate to cover a cake and it didn’t go so well! Lol I will try it and hopefully post something soon. Thanks Martha
@@SimpleBaking i live outside of the US.. so i want to look for similar mats in fabric places.. do you know what they use them for (for fabric i mean) so i know what to ask for?
I'm not too sure what it is used for, but I looked up the name it's called Clear Vinyl. It says it can be used to cover tables or used around the house. Hope this helps.
Yes, it keeps the fondant moist and I don't have to use powdered sugar to roll it out. Also it makes it easier to move onto the cake and it peels off nicely from the plastic.
I usually store in an AC room but if its too hot you might need to put in the chiller, but the fondant might get moister once it defrosts. Some people say if you put in the chiller to store the cake in a corrugated box that is sealed very well to prevent moister. (I haven't tried it yet) I hope this helps! Good Luck!
The way you iced the cake made it seem really hard. I would never get the pleats out. The method I use doesn’t give all that pleating. Bit still interesting to see how other ppl do things. My method may seem hard to you, so it’s all the same
Hi! I would say about 1/8 of an inch thick should be good. If you roll it out too thin then it ends up like my first try. But if you roll it out too thick it may droop later on once it's finished.
I usually put the cake the refrigerator for a couple hours until the buttercream gets firm. I take it out while prepping my fondant and it will only have a bit of moisture on it and that helps the fondant to stick.
It is more an issue of having a smooth base. The cake itself should have been covered more with buttercream, it was unleveled and parts of the cake were still showing to.... It will then be impossible to have a sharped/smooth cake :-/ But all this comes with experience. Pratice makes perfect. But it's always easier to comment and be harsh behind a computer, always. Don't give up SimpleBaking! :-)
I sincerely feel sorry that you are so utterly sad that you feel the need to degrade someone else's video. A little friendly advise, putting someone else down does not lift you up. In fact, it makes you look like an internet bully. I appreciate this video. It saved my beginner cake for my daughter's baby shower because I rolled the fondant so thin, it was transparent in parts. It was also horribly lumpy. Now, I am proud to show it off. Thanks SimpleBaking!
Beautiful job
Nice video it saved my life today please share a video of your fondant recipes,and cake recipes please
Thank you. I really like how I could see all the hand movements. It really helps.
Thank you so much.
I liked this for the simple reason it's how to go things when it goes wrong... Thank you. 🤗

No, the buttercream doesn't need to be thin. That's just how it came out on this cake.

Thank you so much for showing that there are different ways to do the same thing and that learning is a process which requires practice.
She definitely needs a bit more practice. Well, she's brave enough to show her mistakes so I applaud her for that!
Much more (and a smoother) buttercream foundation could've helped as well.
morrisal if you put more buttercream on the cake you get bulges on the side, so sorry hunny you are so wrong.
Where did you get those plastic mats?...transferring fondant never looked so easy lol
I bought it at Walmart in the fabric section.
SimpleBaking Lol...well done..i.saw that sruff but never put 2 and 2 together...thanks..wonderful tip
You can buy a specialized mat from SweetWise.com It makes using fondant so easy.
@@SimpleBaking i live outside of the US.. so i want to look for similar mats in fabric places.. do you know what they use them for (for fabric i mean) so i know what to ask for?

If u decide to add another layer of fondant do u add water or frosting over the fondant to stick the next layer on ?????
Yes, if the fondant is not moist then lightly moisten the fondant so the new layer will stick on.
Hi, was wondering can I use any type of plastic for rolling the fondany?? Or is there a specific type of plastic
Hello!
I use the plastic that is sold in the fabric stores. It is thick and you can cut it to the size you need.
@@SimpleBaking thanks for replying. I'll try it. Love from Trinidad and Tobago
What did you put to a second layer to stick on the first one🤔
I would lightly moisten it with water.
Did u roll ur fondant in a plastic to avoid dryness?
Yes, it keeps the fondant moist and I don't have to use powdered sugar to roll it out. Also it makes it easier to move onto the cake and it peels off nicely from the plastic.
You didn’t show how you fixed the messed up area????????
Hi please can you tell me where you buy the plastic sheets ?
Hello! I get it in the fabric section, and cut it to the size I need. I've purchased it at Walmart but I'm sure any fabric store will have it.
Mat I might sorry about the error
After covering the cake in fondant where to store the cake in chiller or in ac room because my place is really hot plz help mee
I usually store in an AC room but if its too hot you might need to put in the chiller, but the fondant might get moister once it defrosts.

What brand of fondant do you use?
Wilton
hi,
what kind of mat did you use it?
They sell plastic by the yard at Walmart in the fabric section. I buy a yard or so and cut out the pieces according to what size I need.
It's a plastic mat, I bought it at Walmart in the fabric section. :)

What's the song called?
UA-cam music
2 fondant in one cake.
How thick do u roll it out ?
Hi! I would say about 1/8 of an inch thick should be good.
If you roll it out too thin then it ends up like my first try. But if you roll it out too thick it may droop later on once it's finished.
what kind od cellophane didi you use
At Walmart in the fabric section.
Great tip, I bet it's cheaper than the expensive ones made for cake decorating.
Please note: rolling between 2 pieces of plastic.cr and ates a surface tension. Please take out and release from plastic periodically...
2 layer of fondant. Not really good..just one but no so thing.
where do you buy those mats from?

SimpleBaking brilliant
When we apply fondant... it may immediately grab moist.... how to avoid
I usually put the cake the refrigerator for a couple hours until the buttercream gets firm. I take it out while prepping my fondant and it will only have a bit of moisture on it and that helps the fondant to stick.
@@SimpleBaking ma'am after putting fondant how to preserve the cake
No ty
Cake crum coating
freda honey Her crumb coat was too thin and there was no final coat so the fondant had nearly nothing to stick to.
🙄🙄🙄
dreadful. that fondant looked really lumpy. you shouldnt do a tutorial if you carnt cover a cake smoothly!
It is more an issue of having a smooth base. The cake itself should have been covered more with buttercream, it was unleveled and parts of the cake were still showing to.... It will then be impossible to have a sharped/smooth cake :-/
