I've been making cakes for a couple of years and never made a fondant covered cake. Thanks to you, I can face my fear. 🙃🙃🙃 I'm inspired by your work. Awesome!!!

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thank you so much! Try it! When you do, let me know how it goes.....

[@evelynlewis9270]

Never taught of this great idea thanks for sharing

[@toriamigo]

I did my very first one two weeks ago, it wasnt perfect, but i was able to cover up the mistakes. Its actually not as bad as you think :)

[@KH-le6kt]

Couldn’t drape my fondant over my cake...tried THREE times, tried this method and it worked! Thank goodness

[@ChynaBSweets]

I’m so glad! The draping method never works for me either. Thank you for watching!

[@Vybezbyinez]

How simplicity in this video makes me feel I can do this. I did a fondant cake but was having issues with the top. I will try again after I get a blade. I got this. Thank you

[@Vybezbyinez]

Also did you spray 𝑡ℎ𝑒 sides of 𝑡ℎ𝑒 cake wit the water as well?

[@ChynaBSweets]

You got this. Practice makes perfect.

[@ChynaBSweets]

Yes, I did.

[@TheKevincobb]

What’s the name of the blade and where did you purchase

[@pearlenelovelady2828]

Thank you for publicly showing us that placing fondant on a cake can be less intimidating and yet just as beautiful! I've tried this before, but I felt "less than" because it was not the "normal" way of covering a cake with fondant. I have used patterned rolling pins and surfaces that also work beautifully.

[@ChynaBSweets]

Wonderful! You are so welcome.

[@estydamsel7]

I just want to say I love you cos you just save my life. This is so precise and concise

[@sandraruiz3834]

yesssss I'm about to make a cake this weekend and this is perfect! thank you!

[@ChynaBSweets]

🥳🥳 Thank you for watching! I’m glad it helped!

[@inja354]

Thank you. I am doing a Wedding Cake and was so scared to Wrap 4 cakes with Fondant. 😄 I will try your technique. It looks much easier than the other way I did. 😊👍🏻

[@ChynaBSweets]

Nice! Let me know how it turns out 😊

[@inja354]

@@ChynaBSweets I covered all 4 cakes Yesterday and it was so easy with your technique. 😊👍🏻 I have to practice to get that Sharp edges,but for the first time it was so good and much easier than covering all with one layer 😄👍🏻😎I'll do it next time again thank you. 😊

[@ChynaBSweets]

🥳🥳🥳 I’m so glad! Thank you for the feedback!

[@melissazelaya4818]

Excellent👏👏

[@TheShycutie08]

Thank you for sharing! Ive been struggling to cover a cake with fondant. ( it always rips at the top as soon as I put the fondant over the cake) i will try this method of wrapping it around the cake instead of draping the fondant over the cake.

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thank you 😊 I could never really get a sharp edge until I tried this panel method. Let me know how it works for you.

[@lindasivieri4866]

this is the technique I plan to use for my next fondant cake....thanks for the great instructions, looks great....

[@ChynaBSweets]

Nice! Thank you 😊

This video was very much needed. Thank you 👌🏽

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thank you! 😊

[@ayanasheree_]

This seems so much easier

[@ChynaBSweets]

It definitely is for me.

[@gaidemirchyan8781]

Try Fantasia Fondant, you won't regret it. It is a very forgiving fondant with a long work time, which makes it easy to work with for beginners and pros. Fantasia Fondant is formulated with elasticity making it a high performing fondant when covering cakes or performing in silicon cake molds. The colors of Fantasia Fondant are vivid and fadeproof. This fondant will not prematurely dry, crack, tear, break and 'elephant skin.' Offers a less sweet taste that resembled a homemade marshmallow fondant.

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thanks for the suggestion! 😊

[@lilyl4838]

I’ll try this on my next cake thanks

[@user-nc6ln8yv2z]

Ohhhh my lord thank you for sharing us this is great i love backing but with fondant i m not so good but after this video I will definitely enjoy it to cover with fondant thank you thank you

Do you refrigerate the cake after being covered in fondant? If so, how long? Would it create condensation when taken out the fridge? Thanks in advance.

I’m a beginner hobby baker and your technique for fondant covering is AMAZING!! I’m trying soon. Do you offer classes and if I can ask... What color did you use to get that fondant so purple???

[@ChynaBSweets]

Hi Shon, thank you. I used Wilton purple food gel to dye my fondant purple. I may offer classes in the future, but not currently.

[@shongutierrez]

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it because whipped cream is not as sturdy.

Thanks for the video. But I have a question ma. Will putting the Fondant in the refrigerator not make it to sweat?

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thank you for watching. Your cake will sweat, but as it comes to room temperature, the condensation will evaporate.

Thanks alot for the great explanation ❤️ did you freeze the cake after covering with butter icing ?

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thank you for watching. I placed the cake in the refrigerator until I was ready to finish decorating.

[@kierahohne6498]

How do you cover the seam? Coz when I do the paneling method, my fondant on top gets dry and elephant skin before I can blend the top and side together

[@ChynaBSweets]

I buff the seam a bit with my fondant smoother but I don't completely blend it in. That's why I panel this way so you can only see the seam from the top and not the front.
If the seam bothers you, you can always cover your cakes the traditional way. Thank you for watching.

[@akpewevivian1812]

I don't have a fridge but a freezer so is it okay to allow d cake stand outside (work area) till am done with the process or decoration?

[@ChynaBSweets]

That should work too. Let me know how it turns out.

[@cassandrarudolph1307]

What did u use to roll up the foundant

[@sharonatsenokhai4976]

Hello, is the white base beneath the fondant buttercream frosting or fondant also?

Hi, it’s buttercream frosting underneath the fondant.
