???How to make a fondant cake?!?????!
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup Glucose
2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon Glycerin
8 cups sifted confectioner's sugar (about 2 lbs.)
Icing color and flavoring, as desired
Combine gelatin and cold water; let stand until thick. Place gelatin mixture in top of double boiler and heat until dissolved. Add glucose, mix well. Stir in shortening and just before completely melted, remove from heat. Add glycerin, flavoring and color. Cool until lukewarm. Next, place 4 cups confectioner's sugar in a bowl and make a well. Pour the lukewarm gelatin mixture into the well and stir with a wooden spoon, mixing in sugar and adding more, a little at a time, until stickiness disappears. Knead in remaining sugar. Knead until the fondant is smooth, pliable and does not stick to your hands. If fondant is too soft, add more sugar; if too stiff, add water (a drop at a time). Use fondant immediately or store in airtight container in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate or freeze. When ready to use, knead again until soft.

Rather than making your own, I suggest buying it. Fondant is hard to work with unless you really know what your doing. And if this is your first fondant cake than buying it premade would be your best bet. Make sure you buy enough to cover the cake, and make sure your cake is smooth before you put the fondant on it. It will show every bump and curve if you don't be careful!!
