I cover my cakes using the wrap method . I cover the top first , then the sides . In this tutorial I am covering polystyrene dummies , but the same process applies to ganached cakes . To begin , paint the top of your cake only with sugar syrup ( piping gel if you are covering polystyrene ). |
Step 2 :
Dust your bench with a little cornflour . This will stop the fondant from sticking . You ’ ll need to roll out enough fondant just to cover the top of your cake .

Step 3 :
I use acrylic rolling guides on either side of my fondant to ensure it is rolled out to the same thickness .

Step 4 :
Place the piece of fondant on top of the cake .
