Would someone please explain the steps in making a book cake that isn't open down the middle. I understand that it would be a rectangle pan and frosted. I need the instructions for fondant application after that. Thanks

Here is the tutorial that I used. Nice directions and pictures.

Sharon Z has a great DVD on doing a closed book cake. If you have time, you can order it from
