I love covering cake with fondant because it brings out the creativity in you.

[@insidemysilence8015]

Great tutorial MK. Thank you! I recommend everyone to use marshmallow fondant. It tastes better and it's easier to work with it because it's a little bit stretchy. I also like to buy white fondant and color it myself, instead of buying colored fondant.

[@lorrainehicks9172]

You make everything so easy. It looks like something I could do. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜

You make it look so easy. Fondant scares me still but will try your method to see if I can overcome the fear. Love your channel

[@Mino_Eats]

Covering cake with fondant is pretty easy but might seem a bit difficult if you haven’t been doing it for long, I advise you keep trying it & with time you will find it fun😉😘

[@Chiwoful]

Someone asked me why am I looking for stress by using fondant ...since I am going commercial I should be able to able to apply fondant well

[@Mino_Eats]

@@Chiwoful I don’t think using fondant I looking for stress, in my own opinion, I will advise you don’t give up on fondant, just keep practicing and you will someday realize how good you’ve become at using fondant

[@Chiwoful]

@@Mino_Eats I am keeping at it despite the negative opinions coming my way

[@Mino_Eats]

@@Chiwoful No one was born with the knowledge of covering cakes, we all learnt, you too can, just don’t listen to any negative vibes 😉

[@zareenazulficar7329]

You are simply fabulous girly😅

[@varinderduggal001]

Nice video... Can you please suggest the ganache recipe for fondant cake...? And my second question is can we put cake in fridge before applying fondant?

[@hamzakhan9337]

Its soo yummy😍😍😍😃😃

[@hendhosny8891]

ممتازة تسلم ايدك

[@Chiwoful]

This is my struggle and I long to perfect it ...thanks

[@user-gi9vg4iv2r]

Is it ok and safe to use swiss buttercream also instead of the ganache?

[@syedaismath8729]

May I know what did you use to stick the fondant on cake before applying?

[@beenathomas8262]

Should we rest the final layer cake frosted by chocolate ganache in fridge before covering it with fondant??

[@debtink5756]

Hi MK thank you for the tutorial I’m about to cover my first cake and I’m scared to death 🤯is there anything I need to know? Most tutorials Make it look so easy and don’t tell you exactly what’s going on and as a beginner there is a lot to know if the ganache cake is cold is it hard to apply the fondant I will be using Bakels? Will it get sticky I was told by the cake shop that fondant doesn’t like condensations so I’m a bit confused?? Thank you for your help and I love watching your channel.

[@kogilavaniguruaiya4084]

Can we keep fondant worked cake in fridge? Im from Malaysia. The weather is hot everyday.

[@NagujjaResty]

Nice

[@diannechua5646]

How do you store your buttercream cakes and prevent condensation from happening? Thank you

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! I store fully covered buttercream cakes in the fridge, and simply take them out into an air conditioned room and this prevents condensation :). Usually in winter it isn't a problem at all here in New Zealand as it gets pretty cold!

[@shibanifernando7270]

Nice explanation. Do we need to work on a air conditioned room for fondant, as the ganache might melt in room temperature?

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! Yes if you stay in a humid climate then an air conditioned room will work well :)

[@treciamontrose7391]

Would it be wise to use ganache under my fondant cakes if i live in a tropical climate? I love ur videos btw. Explaination is always so clear and understandable. ❤

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi Trecia! Yes ganache would still work great - but if you live in a very humid climate I would recommend increasing the quantity of chocolate in your ganache so it sets firmer. Hope that helps :)

[@blessingtakudzwachisango3417]

Lol you make it look soo easy 🤭🤭 I wanted to ask you just have to cover the first with ganache or i can use a crumb court of fresh cream will it work

[@CakesbyMK]

Haha I promise with practice it isn't too difficult! And unfortunately with fondant it's best to place it on top of a firm setting buttercream/frosting otherwise it'll be too hard to put on the cake :)

[@tairafarouk]

Could you use this technique on a dummy cake (polystyrene)?

[@CakesbyMK]

Yes absolutely!

[@teddybear3590]

Can you please show us a roll cake folding tutorial??? It will be a great help if give us a recipe for that as it's a tough thing to make.

[@CakesbyMK]

Thanks for the suggestion! Will keep this in mind for future videos :)

[@nancytiting3941]

Can i have ur chocolate ganace recipe

[@gy8489]

She has ganache recipe . There is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYqyhWOqopd_m80

[@vintageglitters]

so my question is, how do you do this with just buttercream? my customers dont want ganache and this is the only way i ever see anyone get sharp edges 😪

[@CakesbyMK]

You mean if you wanted to use buttercream under the fondant? :) If so you would use the same method, but just make sure your buttercream is really firm and you may just need to work a little quicker as the buttercream may start to get soft as you're working with it :)

[@canansunger44]

👍🏻👍🏻😘😘

[@ghaneijuliet8939]

Looks easy but don’t know why mine isn’t coming out perfect as yours. What could the problem be? My fondant always have cracks each time I use this method 🤦🏻‍♀️😔. Maybe ur method can help

[@CakesbyMK]

Hi there! Cracks as in it breaks or the fondant is too dry? If it's breaking then your fondant may be rolled out too thin, and if its cracking it means your fondant is too dry and you need to add moisture to it :)

Thanks for sharing…. John 3:16-17-18-19-20-21 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Jesus is Lord.

He’s wonderful but I don’t see the point in posting a negative opinion. Sometimes it’s best to just keep certain things to yourself.
