Fixing the uglies: How to fix dents, cracks and scratches in your fondant

Often I cover really tall or double barrel cakes. I cover the normal way without wrapping, so I sometimes get a few wrinkles or ugly bits from where I have had to stretch or join the fondant. This is my easy way of fixing the ugly bits, yay! - Karin

 

Step 1: Knead a small ball of fondant and break off a tiny bit of fondant the same colour as the flaw you want to fix.

I love doing animals especially."
