Due to the great popularity of fondant cake, in this article we intend to teach you the method and trick of fondant cake on the cake, so that from now on you can prepare homemade fondant cake at least for small and family occasions. The important thing in doing this is to be careful and patient enough to have a smooth and even cake.

How to make a simple fondant cake

Step 1:
First you need to prepare a sponge cake and fondant dough.

Step 2:
Cut the cake and cover its layers with pastry cream and favorite fillings, and at the end, make a suitable primer for fondant and put the cake in the refrigerator for a few hours. The purpose of lining is to cover the wall of the cake with whipped cream.

Step 3:
Sprinkle powdered sugar on the work surface (to prevent the dough from sticking). Spread the fondant dough with a special fondant roller with a diameter of one or one and a half millimeters. (Open the dough enough to make sure it covers the surface and height of the cake easily, and it is better if it is a little bigger so that the fondant work can be done easily.)

Step 4:
When you have opened the dough well, use a rolling pin to separate it from the work surface and spread it on the cake.

Step 5:
Smooth the flattened dough with a fondant iron until the coating on the cake is completely smooth and then separate the dough with the pizza on the extra parts.

The most important part of decorating a cake with fondant is covering the cake, which has been mentioned so far. Cake covered with icing fondant can be decorated with various materials, especially colored fondants and edible guipure.

Dyeing fondant dough:
Using a toothpick, take some food coloring and place it on the dough and knead it by hand until the dough is completely soaked in paint.

In the following, you will read the steps of a simple decoration on the cake.

 
first stage:
Open the colored doughs with a rolling pin and mold with a simple or patterned mold.

second stage:
Colored pastes or molds are glued with water. Using a brush, moisten the back of the dough with a little water and carefully place it on the cake and cover the cake with colored dough according to what you see in the picture. Place the cake in a sealed container and let it rest for 24 hours.

With a little practice and patience, you can apply different decorations on the cake according to your taste, and the most important principle in this work is to gain experience and taste.

Key points for making fondant cake:
- Ambient temperature is very important for decorating fondant cake. The ambient temperature should be balanced towards the cold, ie not hot enough for the dough to soften and not cold enough for the dough to harden.

When adding paint, pay attention to the fact that the paint used in the dough becomes more colorful after drying, so do not overuse the paint. Over time, as you gain experience, the amount of paint you use comes into play.
