How to use FondX - Rolled Fondant

First, prepare your cake and work area.

   1.      Begin by trimming each cake to the desired level.
   2.      Crumb coat each surface of the cake with a sufficient amount of butter cream and place the cake on its appropriate cake board/drum.
   3.      It may help to cool the cake in the refrigerator or freezer for 10 minutes to achieve a slight hardness to the body, especially if your work area is warm during summer months.  The firmness will aid to the ease of applying the FondX.
   4.      Be sure to always clean your work area and your apron free of crumbs and debris to prevent dirtying the white FondX.  Also be sure to wipe your rolling pin thoroughly from any crumbs or pervious FondX debris.

Next, prepare your FondX properly.

   1.      Portion your FondX to the amount needed to cover your desired cake;  see table below for portion amounts.
   2.      Apply a dab of Shortening or Crisco to the palm of your hands.  Use of shortening is the key to success when using FondX.  Do NOT use powdered sugar or cornstarch when kneading;  the powder will quickly dry out the FondX.  The use or powdered substances is the main source of cracking and elephant skin.
   3.      Begin to knead an appropriate amount of FondX.  The best approach is to knead little by little, approximately  an amount the size of your two fists.  A common mistake is to knead too much FondX at one time, and this mistake will lead to fatigue and insufficient kneading.  Apply more shortening if needed.
   4.      Knead and fold the FondX until it is relaxed, pliable, and smooth.  You should be able to stretch the FondX at least 4"-6", the you will know the FondX is ready to roll.
   5.      Dust table surface with a small amount of powdered sugar or corn starch, preferably from a nylon stocking pouch, and roll the FondX evenly about an 1/8 inch in thickness.  Be sure when rolling, to allow for at least 4" extra to ensure there is enough FondX to completely cover the sides of the cake.
   6.      Roll the FondX with a scroll method around your rolling pin, then lift over and cover the cake.
   7.      Adhere the FondX to the top of the cake using your cake smoother.
   8.      Be sure when adhering the FondX to the sides of the cake, to always "straighten out the dress" and slightly pull the FondX while pressing against the cake only with your palm, not fingers.  Fingers will leave indentions in the FondX.  "Straightening the Dress" will prevent wrinkles and folds from occurring.
   9.      Trim excess FondX with a pizza cutter and keep excess clean FondX in a ZipLock bag for the next use.
  10.      Quickly rub a light coat of Shortening on the finished cake, just like lotion, to seal in the moisture in the FondX to prevent any future cracking, and you're ready to being decoring!

Tips:

    *      FondX can be colored with gel paste and dusting color.  Liquid air brush color is not recommended.
    *      FondX can be flavored best with oil base candy flavoring.
    *      FondX can be mixed with Sweet Inspiration White Chocolate Rolled Fondant for a more desirable white chocolate taste.
    *      Textured rolling pins and lace molds work best with FondX.
    *      When making bows or using lace molds, apply a teaspoon of CMC: Fondant Stabilizer per one pound of FondX to give stiffness and to achieve the desired gumpaste look.  CMC: Fondant Stabilizer  transforms FondX into a gumpaste.
    *      Box your FondX'd cake if needed to be refrigerated.  A box will prevent refrigerator moisture from contact on the cake.  The condensation results in unwanted sweat and bleeding of colors on the cake.  Subject to shop conditions.

Why does rolled fondant often cracks and tearing?

There are several reasons why fondant cracks and tears.  Here are some possibilities:

    * Insufficient kneading of the product is usually the number one reason that leads to cracking and tearing.  What this means is the rolled fondant is still very stiff and needs to be properly “woken up.”  Suggestion: begin kneading small portions at a time (amount the size of one fist), knead product until it can be stretched out at least 4”-6”.  Once you notice a nice stretch and smooth texture, you will know it is ready for rolling. Knead more fist sized amounts when needed.

    * Many examples on TV may show the use of large amounts of Corn Starch or Powdered Sugar with the fondant.  These ingredients are dry powders and in turn dry out the product.  Please avoid using these ingredients and use a High Ratio Shortening as a substitute.  Suggestion:  Rub shortening on your workbench to prevent the fondant from sticking when kneading, and rub a dab of shortening in between your hands.  Then begin kneading the fondant.  Use a small amount of Powdered Sugar simply when rolling out the fondant.   Then lightly rub a coat of shortening on the rolled product just as you would with a lotion.  This practice will infuse a bit of fat into the product, keeping it moist and you will avoid that pesky cracking and tearing.
    * Always check the expiration date of the fondant.  Generally, Fondant has a 12 month shelf life.

   Can FondX be put through a Dough Sheeter?
   FondX is very commonly used through a dough sheeter.  A common practice is to sandwich the FondX in between two fondant mats, then push through the sheeter. (Sheeter is available for cost of $2-4,ooo.oo).  The mats help prevent the FondX from being mistreated by the mechanical rollers.
   Are there easier ways to apply FondX on a cake?

There are a variety of ways to apply FondX onto your cake.

·         The traditional method of rolling the fondant onto a rolling pin to drape the fondant on the cake.

·         A very popular method of application is using THE MAT and other tools for smoothing.   Learn more about THE MAT here.
