I let mine dry or it will stick to the paper towels...

I let mine dry or it will stick to paper towels....I put mine in fridge to harden first...

Hi Dear: Somebody can help me please with this récipe, I am frustrared, because I did it exactly and I don't happy with the result, maybe I did a mistake.

I can read both languages, I don't have problems. Have you a wounderful day.

I've tried the paper towel technique before with limited success, but this method really works!  Fondant is nasty, so happy that I will never have to use it again.   Thank you!!!!!

ASo I've just been doing cakes for a little while but can you answer a question. So after you ice your cake before you put fondant on it do you chill it in the refrigerator? I do mine then when I go to add the fondant I take it out and put it straight on the cake but the the cake begins to sweat very badly so should I chill it after I ice it or just put the fondant on right after its iced?

Where I can buy VIVA® Brand Paper Towels?

AI tried this technique and all I can say is my cakes look way better!!! Thank you for your very detailed tutorial!!!

Hi,

I am not sure what is your recipe for the icing.  What is hi-flavor?  And what cake recipe did you use?

Beautiful tutorial.

Thanks,

Hi,

Just sent you an email, but this blank page showed.  So here goes again.

I am not sure if this is your recipe.  What is hi-flavor?  What cake recipe did you use?

Beautiful tutorial.

Por lo general es en el uso de  crisco que ocaciona que no quede la receta bien. Pero cual es el problema?

 I have successfully used hot water before but never in combination with the Viva towels.  I will definitely try this.  Although I love the clean look of fondant, most kids seem to prefer buttercream (even to marshmallow fondant) so most of my cakes are done this way and it is extremely tedious getting the clean, smooth look.  Thanks for the tip.

"Go around the cake" in sections -- in the same motion/direction you put the icing on?

What is the "hi ratio" that you are using in your icing recipe?

I've done this using the decorative side of the paper towel and it creates a very pretty design.

AHello, Can you please tell me the recipe for the buttercream icing that you used ? The cake looks just like fondant.

I am new to cake decorating and I'm curious what icing recipe you used on this smoothing instruction...all Crisco? 

Hola: Una pregunta Y como seria en Australia al agregar agua?

Gracias!!!

... me olvidaba Usas la misma receta para hacer crumb coat al cake?

Gracias otra vez.

Saludos

What is the "high ratio" that you are referring to in the recipe?  Is it shortening?  Thanks.

AShe is using high ratio shortening. Crisco that is sold today is not hi ratio. I have not been able to find it myself but believe you can search for it on the internet. From what I understand it can be somewhat expensive. I've read that it doesn't leave that "greasy" feeling in your mouth and makes for a very creamy buttercream. I would love to try it so if you find some and make frosting could you please post here how you liked it? Thank you and good luck!

Do you refrigerate the butter cream before you smooth out with the hot spatula and paper towel? Or do you strt to smooth out right after applying the butter cream?

AI just tried this, and I thought my frosting was stiff enough, but the Viva keeps sticking to the frosting. Should the frosting be more stiff or softer?

ALooks great.. What kind of butter cream recipe did you use for this method?

AThanks

AA size 18 tip. hope this helps! :D:cake: < me and my finished cake!

So, ANY crusting BC?  Such as cream cheese CBC? Thanks for sharing....

loved your tutorial but what is high ratio flavourings.
