Working With Fondant

TROUBLESHOOTING THE BASICS

FIXING MINOR CRACKS

If you have wrinkling or cracking on the edges of acovered cake use a small amount of shortening on a small round paintbrush to smooth it out. To repair small
indentations or tears, place a small ball of matching color fondant on the area and use shortening to smooth
it out.
NOTE: the shortnening will leave a little shine.
AVOIDING CRACKS
DID YOU KNEAD THE FONDANT?

Too short - The gums haven’t been fully warmed up. The
fondant will not be at its optimal flexibility.
Too long - The longer fondant is worked in open air, the
less flexible it will be.
Portion too large - If you need a large portion of fondant,
knead individual pieces (around baseball size) and then
knead all together
