1) Fondants dry very fast - so take what you need and keep the rest covered using an air tight container or cling wraps
2) Always have a bowl of icing sugar near you when you are working with fondants. You will need it when you are rolling out your fondants. Also, you will need them to dip your fingers in so that the fondant do not stick to your fingers while working.
3) When you are making figures that have 2 or more pieces, stick them together using daps of water. Use your fingers to apply or a brush.
4) You will tend to get lumps of icing sugar stuck to your fondant while rolling. Ensure that you sift your dusting sugar before you use them.
5) When you intend to color your fondant, ensure that you mix your colors well in advance. Otherwise you will find that you will not get consistent shades.
Have fun making your fondant and by following some simple guidelines, you should be making master pieces for your cakes soon enough. Practice makes perfect and that is so true with cake decorating.
