Place sculpting fondant on the surface of a sheet cake for full coverage or in small sections, as when applying candies or decorations. Keep your sculpting fondant slightly damp to keep it from cracking during the application process.
Instructions
1. Roll out the fondant flat and lay it over the cake.
2. Dampen your fingers slightly by dipping them into room-temperature water.
3. Smooth the sculpting fondant and remove any seams or wrinkles.
4. Apply a small amount of traditional icing to a small section of the cake. Set on it a piece of sculpted fondant made to look like a flower or other decoration. Seat it firmly in the icing.
5. Use a toothpick to remove excess icing that shows beneath the sculpted fondant.
6. Allow the icing to dry thoroughly before placing other decorations made from the sculpting fondant on the cake.
7. Work in stages to secure a tight bond between the sculpting fondant and the cake. This prevents you from accidentally dislodging the decorations while you work.
