Fondant smoother the range

These are so useful for carved cakes, as they allow you to smooth over various shapes and into small spaces without gouging out the fondant. So, put on your favorite playlist, pour yourself a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine, if that’s more your style), and let your creativity flow. Poured fondant, on the other hand, is better suited for glazes and fillings, while gum paste is the go-to for delicate, intricate decorations.

Marshmallow fondant has gained popularity in recent years, as it tends to be more forgiving and easier to work with than traditional rolled fondant.

With a little patience and care, your cake will soon have those flawless, smooth sides that make it look professionally crafted.

Trim the Excess

We’re almost at the finish line of fondant perfection! Trim this excess using your scissors, creating a neat and tidy fold.

However, be cautious not to mix different colored fondants unless you want a marbled effect.

How do I prevent air bubbles from forming under the fondant?

Air bubbles can be pesky, but there’s a simple trick to avoid them. It’s like working with clay, but with the added bonus of being able to eat your masterpiece when you’re done!

Ultimately, the key to successful fondant decorating is to let your imagination run wild.

You’ve mastered the art of smoothing fondant, and your cakes will now stand out with that professional touch that turns them into true works of art.

Smooth Corners and Edges

We’re diving into the final finesse of fondant smoothing – focusing on those pesky corners and edges. After all, the best cakes are the ones that reflect your unique style and personality.

Tip #5: Embrace the imperfections. Let’s be real – even the most seasoned fondant experts can’t achieve absolute perfection every single time.

Aim for a cool, dry environment, and consider using a dehumidifier or air conditioner if needed. You can also use regular printer paper, but card will make it easier to draw around.

I’ve given two slightly different sizes of templates for the regular and mini smoothers, you can see which of them is closest in size to fit your hand (or scale them up or down if necessary).

For cutting out both the template and the smoothers, you’ll get the results by using a ruler and craft knife to cut the straight sides, and then use small scissors to round off the corners.

Line the template up with a corner of the plastic, and draw around it.
