I've been making cakes for a couple of years and never made a fondant covered cake. Thanks to you, I can face my fear. 🙃🙃🙃 I'm inspired by your work. Awesome!!!

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thank you so much! Try it! When you do, let me know how it goes.....

[@evelynlewis9270]

Never taught of this great idea thanks for sharing

[@toriamigo]

I did my very first one two weeks ago, it wasnt perfect, but i was able to cover up the mistakes. Its actually not as bad as you think :)

[@KH-le6kt]

Couldn’t drape my fondant over my cake...tried THREE times, tried this method and it worked! Thank goodness

[@ChynaBSweets]

I’m so glad! The draping method never works for me either. Thank you for watching!

[@pearlenelovelady2828]

Thank you for publicly showing us that placing fondant on a cake can be less intimidating and yet just as beautiful! I've tried this before, but I felt "less than" because it was not the "normal" way of covering a cake with fondant. I have used patterned rolling pins and surfaces that also work beautifully.

[@ChynaBSweets]

Wonderful! You are so welcome.

[@estydamsel7]

I just want to say I love you cos you just save my life. This is so precise and concise

[@jacklineauma1907]

Best and easy way to cover cake with fondant. Actually fondant headache is over for me. Be blessed. Uhuuuuu

[@Krizz139]

Wow this is amazing! you have just saved my daughter's 21st birthday cake! You have another subscriber, thank you!

[@ChynaBSweets]

Awesome!😎 Thank you 😊

[@oluchicharles9788]

This is absolutely the best and most self explanatory video on covering a cake with fondant I have watched! Thank you a lot!

[@ChynaBSweets]

🥳🥳 Thank you for watching! I’m glad it helped!

[@inja354]

Thank you. I am doing a Wedding Cake and was so scared to Wrap 4 cakes with Fondant. 😄 I will try your technique. It looks much easier than the other way I did. 😊👍🏻

[@ChynaBSweets]

Nice! Let me know how it turns out 😊

[@inja354]

@@ChynaBSweets I covered all 4 cakes Yesterday and it was so easy with your technique. 😊👍🏻 I have to practice to get that Sharp edges,but for the first time it was so good and much easier than covering all with one layer 😄👍🏻😎I'll do it next time again thank you. 😊

[@ChynaBSweets]

🥳🥳🥳 I’m so glad! Thank you for the feedback!

[@melissazelaya4818]

Excellent👏👏

[@sandraruiz3834]

yesssss I'm about to make a cake this weekend and this is perfect! thank you!

[@TheShycutie08]

Thank you for sharing! Ive been struggling to cover a cake with fondant. ( it always rips at the top as soon as I put the fondant over the cake) i will try this method of wrapping it around the cake instead of draping the fondant over the cake.

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thank you 😊 I could never really get a sharp edge until I tried this panel method. Let me know how it works for you.

[@AdaobiNwankwo-m6z]

Please how did you make the fondant when did you add the colors

[@lindasivieri4866]

this is the technique I plan to use for my next fondant cake....thanks for the great instructions, looks great....

[@ChynaBSweets]

Nice! Thank you 😊

[@JustlifeofInez]

How simplicity in this video makes me feel I can do this. I did a fondant cake but was having issues with the top. I will try again after I get a blade. I got this. Thank you

[@JustlifeofInez]

Also did you spray 𝑡ℎ𝑒 sides of 𝑡ℎ𝑒 cake wit the water as well?

[@ChynaBSweets]

You got this. Practice makes perfect.

[@ChynaBSweets]

Yes, I did.

What’s the name of the blade and where did you purchase

[@ChynaBSweets]

😊😊My pleasure

[@Itsjusteva11]

FINALLY!!!!!! I’ve been waiting for a video that showed a different type of fondant covering!! The traditional slap it over the top and push the kinks out does not work for me!! But this method is amazing!!!!! 👍👍👍 thank you!!!

[@ChynaBSweets]

The traditional method never worked for me either. I’m glad you find this method helpful! Thank you for watching! 🥰🥰

[@khadijaholaofe3926]

I just love watching your videos ma’am so self explanatory and easy .

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thank you for watching! 😁😁

[@blazenkasusic8231]

Hello. Thank you for the video. Can you tell me which cream are you using before the fondant. Thank for your response!

[@ChynaBSweets]

My pleasure. I use American buttercream to frost my cakes. I refrigerate the cake to make sure the buttercream is firm, then I apply the fondant.

[@sadiatariq9583]

absolutely amazing 😊👍👍👏👏 its so easy to work with fondant as im afraid to do so but will gona try soon

[@lucyannievelazquez1775]

Do you refrigerate the cake after being covered in fondant? If so, how long? Would it create condensation when taken out the fridge? Thanks in advance.

[@rebeccannennaonah2691]

Great

[@pj8553]

Yes! Would like to know this as well 💙

[@sarahoben186]

Once a cake is covered in fondant, don't put in the fridge. Keep it in a cool dry place (ambient temperature)

[@audreymorellenzemou9369]

Thanks ma'a will try it this weekend

[@ChynaBSweets]

All the best

[@kcdjspc]

Awesome! I make cakes but don’t think I could do it this way with adhd and autism, I may try to as I struggle with the other way. 🎂⭐️

[@mlovely7818]

What do you use to coat the cake before fondant? Buttercream or ganache?

[@ChynaBSweets]

I used buttercream, but ganache will work too.

[@ashaaaaaanti]

Omggg!!! Straight to the point. I’ll let you know how it goes

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thanks for watching! Please do.

[@yemzyalexrn7018]

Please what’s the name of the kite shaped knife you used in cutting the edge of the fondant

[@allielanier7957]

This is brilliant!!! My mind is blown!

[@ChynaBSweets]

☺️☺️

[@esthersimon7234]

Wonderful. Thank you so much. Please what did you use to ensure your fondant doesn't stick to the rolling surface?

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thank you Ester. I use cornstarch.

[@okoriechinaza7714]

I love the easy going fondant How do you make d fondant please

[@Lisaida]

what about the seam on the top rim of the cake? do you not blend it in so it's not noticeable?

[@christineotieno3283]

Hello, great job. Beneath is that buttercream?

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thank you! Yes it is

[@muchenjefortunate1755]

Wow. Thank you. What a best technique ever, I must try it on the square cakes too😘😘

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thank you! This method works well for square cakes too.

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thank you. U can mix fondant & water into a paste to cover the seam if you like.

[@cassandrarudolph1307]

What did u use to roll up the foundant

[@ChynaBSweets]

Hi, to firm the buttercream.

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thank you for watching. In the video, I trimmed the fondant with a sharp razor.

[@lisasands242]

Awesome technique! Covering a cake in fondant seems less intimidating now, will definitely give this a try...do you use store bought fondant or marshmallow fondant?

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thanks! I use store bought fondant.

[@shongutierrez]

I’m a beginner hobby baker and your technique for fondant covering is AMAZING!! I’m trying soon. Do you offer classes and if I can ask... What color did you use to get that fondant so purple???

[@ChynaBSweets]

Hi Shon, thank you. I used Wilton purple food gel to dye my fondant purple. I may offer classes in the future, but not currently.

[@shongutierrez]

@@ChynaBSweets Happy Saturday, I’m located in Cypress, maybe we’ll meet one day!! I’m on IG>Butterbiscuityaya.. I hope you’ll consider a few classes soon. Thanks for the fondant tip.

[@thebrunetswanders8084]

What brand of fondant is best?

[@ChinwenduAchuoso]

Thanks for best of all

[@ramsina8748]

Before applying the fondant, do you cover your cake with buttercream or what? Thank you

[@ChynaBSweets]

Yes. The cake in my video is covered with buttercream.

[@gaidemirchyan8781]

Try Fantasia Fondant, you won't regret it. It is a very forgiving fondant with a long work time, which makes it easy to work with for beginners and pros. Fantasia Fondant is formulated with elasticity making it a high performing fondant when covering cakes or performing in silicon cake molds. The colors of Fantasia Fondant are vivid and fadeproof. This fondant will not prematurely dry, crack, tear, break and 'elephant skin.' Offers a less sweet taste that resembled a homemade marshmallow fondant.

[@ChynaBSweets]

Thanks for the suggestion! 😊

[@queenierosedurano9570]

Hi, can we use whipped cream instead of butter cream before covering it with fondant?

[@ChynaBSweets]

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it because whipped cream is not as sturdy.

[@queenierosedurano9570]

@@ChynaBSweets alright ma'am, thank you ❤️
