Brilliant! No point in wasting fondant to be under the cake. Love this method.

[@theresekarunanayake4511]

Super....very clear instructions.Thank you

Hi Tracey, thanks so much for sharing your cake tutorials, they're brilliant! Just finished watching them all and can't wait for the next one...... Debs x x

[@alisonratcliffe4345]

I know I've already given this a thumbs up, but just wanted to add that I tried this method last night when making my daughter's birthday cake! Such a good tip for covering a cake board. In the past, I've covered the whole thing which is obviously a waste, but from now on I will definitely be doing it this way. It was far from perfect when I did it haha, but I'm sure with practice, it'll come 😂. Thank you so much x

[@Cherrycakeco]

Oh yes it certainly does come with practice!! Once you've nailed it, you'll be fine :D x

[@dangermouse6687]

Great tip, thank you.

[@shachiefletcher8272]

Love your tutorials. So helpful new subby here. Looking forward to more vids👌👌😊😊

[@Cherrycakeco]

Awww welcome aboard! Nice to have you on my little channel :D x

[@elainebaskerville9333]

Thank you I used this method for my last cake and it was Brilliant! Would you recommend adding tylo to help stiffen the fondant to avoid dents etc?

[@Cherrycakeco]

Great!! I usually only add tylo to figures or letters/shapes I'm cutting out, you will want a little bit of stretch and flexibility for this method to smooth the join at the back and stretch it to cover any short parts if needed, so I would probably leave it out. You'll get neater at it though the more you do it! xx

[@raymensoin8010]

really handy👍👍👍 pls cd u show how to drape a square and rectangle cake with fondant

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thanks! Unfortunately I don't offer square cakes, only round :D x

[@ToveBat]

Used this technique for the first time yesterday and I have to say: It worked so great! Will do it this way now .-)

[@Cherrycakeco]

Aww yay!!! xxx

[@dianeward86]

I’ve tried your method a few times but I struggle to get the join looking neat. Do you rub the seam with the heat of your hands so you don’t see join or just cover it with a decoration. Finally caught up with all your vlogs now watching all tutorials from the beginning. 😊

[@Cherrycakeco]

Yes if you rub the seam together that usually blends it, then you can go in with the smedger tool and buff it :D Lots of designs though usually allow a bit of decoration to cover it if needed :D x

[@julianamarinho8002]

Love your work! You have a fan from Brazil!😊 Could you please tell me the cake’s and the cake board’s sizes?

[@Cherrycakeco]

Hi! This was a 7" cake so I'd guess the board was around 10" :D x

[@julianamarinho8002]

Little Cherry Cake Thanks!

[@marjanyd2234]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@debsalex]

Going to try this today and thank you for the tutorial. Do you have to put any ribbon around the bottom of the board or can you leave it like that pleasd? X

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thanks! You dont have to, but it looks unfinished if left plain. x

[@debsalex]

Thank you so much 😊

[@leeforster7535]

Can this method be used on a square bboard, or is that just too hard. Love your videos, greetings from Phillip Island in Australia

[@Cherrycakeco]

Sure! Just make sure you roll it a bit thicker in diameter to cover the very edges :D x

[@leeforster7535]

@@Cherrycakeco Will it work on a square cake?

[@samiiraayan7664]

Hi just wondering how the cake drum under the cake is stuck onto the cake board hat you're covering? If that makes any sense!

[@Cherrycakeco]

Hi! I use chocolate ganache to stick it down :D x

[@jenniferdaubenspeck5454]

Such a great tutorial! Thank you for sharing. Can I ask when you apply the ribbon? I have done it once and marred the fondant trying to get the ribbon round. ☹️

[@Cherrycakeco]

Thank you! I always apply my ribbon at the very end. Its the very last thing I do before boxing it up :D

[@CharissaHarewood]

How do you stick your cake board to the base board? Do you use hot glue?

[@Cherrycakeco]

Just ganache or royal icing will do the trick :D x

[@CharissaHarewood]

@@Cherrycakeco Thank you for replying and thank you for sharing your work. I'm obsessed with the clean lines of your work. 😍

[@tinlelam2859]

Do we have to wet the cake board?

[@Cherrycakeco]

If the paste is sticky enough you wont need it, but if its a little dry then you can of course put some water on it :D x

[@tinlelam2859]

Little Cherry Cake thanks Cherry!
