How to connect pieces of fondant on a cake?!
I am making a cross-shaped cake for a baby's dedication at church and I am not completely sure how to connect pieces of fondant without showing a seam!. I don't want to use icing borders or anything to cover it, either!. It is going to be a cross-shaped cake with white fondant, luster dust, shimmery white ribbon around the bottom and her monogrammed initials on the front/center!. ANY help will be greatly appreciated!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just warm it enough so that you can mold it around the cross in one piece!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Hi MMo2! Cake decorating isn't really my thing, but there was a show on PBS about it!. When they used fondant, they always rolled it out bigger than the cake (and they did some different shapes)!. It seems the fondant is very pliable at room temp!. So it seems that you could roll it out to about the same shape, even if you have to piece it together to roll it!. When you get it on top of the cake you should be able to mold it to the shape of the cake fairly easily (the pliability thing)!. Hope this helps!Www@FoodAQ@Com
If you have to do it in pieces just dab your finger in some water and run it along the seam to join them together (you may have to rub it lightly to join the seams) and you won't be able to tell where they were joined!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
you can just add a drop of water to the piece of fondant and you can stick it onto the other pieces of fondantWww@FoodAQ@Com
