Do you find that covering your cakes in fondant, sugar paste, or icing is always a guessing game? Never worry about rolling out too much or running too short again! I’ve created the Ultimate Printable Fondant Guide to take the stress out of your cake decorating. No matter the size or height of your round cakes, I have you covered with exact measurements for every project, whether your using the traditional 'All in one' method or the panelling method.

How to cover your cakes in buttercream: youtu.be/Q_gJ6HoRRDkI
Please note that these guides are specifically designed for round cakes and are intended as a helpful reference. The calculations are based on covering cakes with a fondant thickness of 4mm and a cake board of 3mm. While I’ve accounted for variations in the weight of different fondant brands, there may still be slight differences.
If you find that the fondant you use requires a slightly different amount, I’d love to hear your feedback so I can refine and improve these guides for everyone!
I really hope you enjoy the tutorial. Thank you so much for watching and don't forget to like the video and subscribe for more cake decorating tutorials!
