Can someone please give advice on the best way to do fondant for a larger size cake...as in the best way to move it and how to keep it from cracking, etc??? I had to do fondant on a 9X13 sheet cake that was 4 inches high. I had so many problems with the fondant...I put a bunch of ps on my mat I was working on and it still stuck. I had trouble trying to move that huge of size of fondant from the mat to the cake. It kept stretching and ripping. I worked as fast as I could and the fondant was still soft but was cracking all over the cake. I used Rhonda's MMF recipe from on here. Any tips would be helpful. Are there any brands that are easier to work with than the MMF that don't cost a fortune??
