UPDATE: Yay! - the Cake Decorating: Fun with Fondant DVD (#1 Basics & Birthdays) has just been sent to the printer! For those interested, it looks like it will be available mid-August.
In it Robin talks about basic tools needed, how to make fondant from scratch, making flowers, and prepping a cake for fondant decorating. In addition she shows you, in detail, how to make a square cake, a 2 tier cake, and gives tips and creative ideas all along the way.
I'll be sharing a short trailer soon. Thanks again for your patience!

@korgothgirl I think it would be easier if you made it a day or 2 ahead of time - I think you'll have enough to do making a guitar cake! =)
Be sure to wrap it tightly in some sort of plastic wrap…and storing it in an airtight container doesn't hurt either. Don't want it to dry out.
Good luck on your cake - share a picture of it when you're done, if you want to!

@TeTeDaBoss yes - ... ( 2 weeks ago by cookingupastory)

@TeTeDaBoss yes - the fondant is easier to work with if the cake is already covered with buttercream (and chilled)...keeps the cake crumbs from sticking to the fondant as you apply it.

@Cliquegirl233 the ... ( 2 weeks ago by cookingupastory)

@Cliquegirl233 the first layer of buttercream is the crumb coat - just enough buttercream is spread over the cake to keep the crumbs from getting in the main frosting layer. Chill for 15/20 minutes, until it is firm. Then apply the 2nd layer of buttercream. The outer layer you want to be very smooth b/c the fondant will lay on top of it. While it is chilling again (15/20 minutes), start rolling out the fondant. Hope it all goes well for you!!

@29capergirl Robin makes some of her decorations a day or 2 ahead of time. They will dry out, so she removes them from the cake before cutting.
You can make the fondant ahead of time, but keep it tightly wrapped in plastic, and, if possible stored in an airtight container.
