So I have this problem when I make some of my cakes, especially my chocolate cake when I cover it with fondant. After awhile, the fondant starts to sag on the cake. I think the issue could be the recipe, which bakes a cake that is very moist but I'm not 100% convinced. It IS possible to have a moist cake under fondant without sagging right??? Anyway, my questions are...could there be another reason for the sagging fondant and what can I try to do to alleviate the problem. Also, if it is my recipe, does anyone have a recommendation for a chocolate cake that's sturdy. I should note that I currently use a doctored cake mix recipe that adds pudding and sour cream. And also, this sagging has only occurred when using Satin Ice fondant. Could it be the fondant itself?? I gotta say, since recently switching to it from marshmallow, I'm not impressed. Thanks!

vgcea, I don't believe I'm rolling the fondant too thick. I've thought of that and deliberately rolled it thinner this last time. It just may be the Satin Ice. It has given me nothing but trouble and I'm going to switch back to marshmallow unless there is a better option. Any recommendations? I did like having one less thing to make. Thanks!
