HOW TO COVER A FONDANT CAKE FOR BEGINNERS WITHOUT CRACKS OR TEARS
Fondant icing is a great way to get a smooth, perfect cake surface, but it can easily crack! A cracked fondant can mar a beautiful cake, but don’t worry. Learning a few tricks to fix up cracks will help make your cakes come out perfect every time.
Check your fondant for air bubbles, rough spots, and thickness. Most cracks happen because of a problem with the fondant itself. Before you put your fondant on, make sure it’s perfect. There should be no air bubbles, no rough spots, and the fondant should be the thickness specified in your recipe (this will change depending on what you’re making).
You can pop air bubbles with a sanitized needle before re-rolling the fondant.
Rough spots can be massaged gently with a finger dipped in shortening.
Use your fondant immediately after making it. Fondant is meant to be used as soon as it’s rolled, so letting it sit for even a few minutes can have a drying effect that leads to cracked surfaces. To prevent cracks, use your fondant as soon as it’s rolled out.
