Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

Hi, everyone!  I need some help- I was rolling out fondant for a full sheet cake last week and broke one of the handles on my marble rolling pin.  I ended up finishing my task "old school", because that's how I roll, lol

Has this happened to anyone, and were you able to repair it?  I'd hate to give up my rolling pin, it was handed down by my grammy.  I really appreciate any help I can get!

Thanks!  Chef Miriam

Geez... Super human strength. Who am I to talk, I break knives regularly.

I'll do some research for you.

I think you will be very lucky to fix this back to it's old strength.  Honestly, the only thing I think that might do it is Superglue.  That's what we call it in the UK, don't know if it's the same in US?

(Love your pun btw!)

Can you post a picture of the break?

Knives?!  Looks like we both have to lay off the spinach!

Chef Miriam said:   I was afraid of that!  My other half said the same thing about using superglue or bondo (at least he didn't suggest duct tape, lol).  But I think you're right about not regaining its full strength  :(

I may have to superglue it and keep it as a decoration.  Thank you!

It's worth a try anyway Miriam.  Oh yes, and remind me not to get into a fight with you two girls!

I will try- haven't got the hang of replying just yet!  I broke off the wooden handle almost in half- it is barely holding together by a splinter!

Miriam - hubby says use a good wood glue and a jubilee clip to hold it together!  If you don't use the jubilee clip word there, he says you might call it a hose clip...............

Heh heh, my darling is grinning from ear to ear, thinking I lost my primary weapon.  He forgets I have a nice knife kit... and several large fondant rollers!

I'll give the project to mine.  Don't have a hose clip, but I do have a small vise that might do the trick to hold it together until it dries... Still hoping for a miracle!

I was thinking wood glue as well. Should work, just make sure you clamp it and let it dry completely.
