very informative tutorial. thank you never thought of using strips to get the correct thickness
Hello Serdar, can you please tell me, when I have a dark blue colloured fondant, how can I remove the starch from the surface after coating the cake? Or can I use some coconat fat (like you use for pastilage) for the work surface instead of the starch?
Roll your fondant with minimum amont of sterch dusted with bag, If result stil no good use oil spray on the coated cake and soft brush. Try on a piece of fondant with starch first to understand.
Thanks I will try
Hi Mr Yener,
Thankyou so much for the valuable information you share with us generously. However, I am new to this fondant knowledge. May i ask (it may sound silly) if the cake cover with fondant can be stored in fridge? If no, why?
You mentioned about the material used to make the guiding strips but so sorry that i could not catch it. Can you please let me know and where to get it? I always fail to roll the fondant flat with perfect thickness consistently. Please help. Thankyou very much and God bless you.
Yes, fondant covered cakes keeping in the fridge is problem act because fondant is an hygroscopic material ( sensitive to humidity). The fridge is a moist environment. Bigger problem is coating COLD cake with fondant especially in rainy weather or high humidity countries. If cake is cold and the fondant covered, condensation is the main problem. Let say this way: if you take some fondant place on the table, it is not going to get wet but on a cold cake it will . You have to protect the cake as soon as covered with fondant by immediately putting in a box and packing with cling wrap till it reaches the room temperature or placing a cover on top ( a pot) . Try that you will see the difference. ( this recommendation is only for the cakes layered and coated with ganache not fresh cream)

Thank you once again Gentlemen, this may seem like basic information and practice, but it is very good to be reminded of what we already know, and presented with ideas we have not known. I am going to organize a PVC pipe for myself. The pushing looks like it would require a little less energy and power from the wrist…. I like that idea. Kind regards.
Hello Mr Yener
Where can I buy this fondant in Perth, Australia?
Many Thanks
