I prepare my board with fondant like in the tutorial. Before transfering the cake I use the cake pan and mark out with a pin where the cake is to be placed on the board. I lift the fondant covered cake with a large wide spatular an use the pin marks to place the cake on the board. I have added a bit of buttercream on the board to fix the cake in place.

If you look on youtube you can find vidoes on different ways to do this.

I’d love to use boards like this, but still haven’t figured how to moved a heavy, fondant covered cake, without breaking it.
Could you help with a few tips and tricks, pls?

@Eimear: I use several layers of cling film and then roll it tightly in a plastic bag – then it all goes to the fridge and is ready for use again whenever you need it.
I’ve experienced, though, that the quality of ‘left over fondant’ depends very much on the original quality. Home made fondant is (to me at least) nearly impossible to store in the fridge for later use. Have had very good results with Wilton’s though.

It spreads so soft and easy. It’s also perfect for piping swirls and taste great too. Works alone or under rolled fondant cover. http://cakejournal.com/tutorials/how-to-make-italian-meringue-butter-cream/

I have one quick question though… do you have any tips on how to keep fondant soft between uses? I’ve tried cling film but haven’t had any luck. What do you use?
Thanks!
