2. Allow to thickening for a few minutes before heating until dissolved.

3. Mix in the glucose and glycerin well then remove from the heat.

What Is The Best Way To Roll Out A Fondant?

Roll out the fondant with a rolling pin on a surface dusted with powdered sugar to smooth it out. Roll out a sheet approximately 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick for big sheets to cover cakes and cupcakes and for cutting out embellishments.

How to Make a Fondant Cake?

So you've heard that fondant cake is too difficult? It may appear difficult, but it is not as difficult as you may believe. You can simply fondant a cake and produce a magnificent display with a little experience. Here are the steps:

1. Flatten the fondant into a rough pancake form using your palms. Roll the fondant out to a thickness of 1/4 to 3/8 inch (0.64 to 0.95 cm). Roll out the fondant by rotating it 180 degrees every so often. It will be easier to maintain it round. Lifting and flipping the fondant over may cause it to tear.

2. Roll the fondant onto the rolling pin in a loose manner and measure it with a piece of string. The fondant should be the same size as the string or slightly larger. Roll the fondant from one end to the other, picking it up as you go. This will make it easier to apply the fondant to the cake and reduce the risk of it tearing.

3. Unroll the fondant over the cake gently. Unwind the fondant by placing the rolling pin on top of the cake at one of the edges and rolling it towards the other end.

4. Apply the fondant to the cake and smooth it out. Using your fingertips, start at the top and work your way down the sides. Make sure there aren't any creases, folds, or air bubbles.

5. Remove any extra fondant with a knife. A knife or even a pizza cutter can be used. Try to cut the cake as near to the bottom as possible.

Now, your fondant cake is ready! Finish decorating the cake. You may leave the cake as it is, or you can add embellishments to it using buttercream icings, such as text, swirls, or flowers. You may also use embossed silicone gel mats to add a pattern to your fondant. Of course, you can always trust Tropolite Fondant to get the job done well.
