I've being asked for an undecorated three tier square cake covered in fondant.I've heard that there is some difficulty at the corners of the cake and this cake being plain needs to look well done.Have you had any problem in that respect?
Need some advice.TIA.

When I covered a square shape with fondant, I smoothed down the corners first. Hope this helps.

I also start @ the corners 1st, then then the middle the same as a round cake, just keep on lifting and smoothing. Then cut away the excess.

HTH!
