Rolled fondant
There are 21 products.
Rolled fondant is the quickest way to a smoothly and professionally covered cake: the ready-to-use FunCakes fondant sheets come already rolled out smooth and have the same qualities as fondant from the pack – you simply skip the rolling. They are available in white, black, red, yellow, pink, Hot Pink, light blue, Denim Blue and Spring Green, alongside a white rolled fondant disc of Ø 36 cm and a round pre-rolled marzipan fondant disc.
To go with them you will find edible glue in a tube, with a brush or as a brush pen, CMC (tylose) powder and dusting starch such as Magic Roll-Out Powder, fine baking starch or potato starch.
Tips for covering a cake with pre-rolled fondant
- Prepare the base: first coat the cake with buttercream or ganache and chill it well so the surface is smooth and firm.
- Stop it sticking: lightly dust your work surface and hands with starch so the sheet lifts easily.
- Work from the top down: lay the sheet over the cake, press the top first, then smooth the sides downwards with the flat of your hand and trim the excess with a knife.
- Attach decorations: fix small fondant motifs with edible glue – the brush pen makes this especially precise.
Frequently asked questions about rolled fondant
Can I cut shapes out of a fondant sheet?
Yes. With cookie cutters or a sharp knife you can cut shapes, letters or strips for cupcakes, cookies and cake borders. Wrap any leftovers airtight so they do not dry out.
What is CMC or tylose powder used for?
CMC makes fondant firmer and more elastic: knead in a small amount to create a modelling paste for figures and bows that dries faster. Mixed with a little water, it also makes an edible glue.
