How to cover a cake with fondant icing

1.Make sure that the large cake you want to decorate, has been coated with butter cream icing and left to harden a bit.

2. Take the measurement of the cake, so that you'll know the size of fondant to roll out.
 If you are working with a round cake with 10inch wide cake, that has a 4inch height, your fondant measurement will be 10+4+4, which will give you 18. 
 So the diameter of your fondant will be 18, but make it 20. It's better to have extra fondant at the edges, than not having enough. 

3. Place the cake on a cake board.
  

 - Now, Knead the fondant until soft and pliable.


- Then, dust your work surface and rolling pin with icing sugar.Place the fondant on the dusted or greased work table, and roll flat with the rolling pin(about 1/4 inch thick) ; make sure that all sides are equal.  


3. Fold the rolled fondant on the rolling pin and carefully lift it up. Place onto the prepared cake.

4. Smooth the top and the side of the cake, gently pressing the fondant onto the cake; smooth out any creases on the cake andcut out the extra edges with a small knife.
 Set aside to dry.

Not bad.
