<p>One thing that really helped me was rolling the fondant much thinner - 1/16" thick. The thinner it is, the easier it is to work with and you get less cracks.</p>

<p>The bumps and lumps are caused from bulging or an not so smooth cake. I have the same problem every once in awhile. I found Sharon Zambito's DVD Flawless Fondant very helpful. </p>

<p>Katy, I have since purchased my own piece of vinyl at the fabric store-so much-cheaper in the area where they sell clear table cloth vinyl by the yard. Here in the USA it runs about $3.00 or $4.00 dollars a yard, and the one I purchased says right on it that it is food safe. When it finally gets crummy from shortening, I just throw it away and purchase another one.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>KATY NOTT said:…</cite></p>

<p>Hi Heather. I have the same problem as I can be a bit ham fisted. I have found now though that going over the fondant gently and several times with a smoother helps a lot. I have also found that rolling the fondant out under cling film gives a much nicer finish. I've actually just watched the vid that Linda put the link to (thanks Linda - really good demo there) and I think the cling film gives the same kind of assistance that this lady's mat gives her.</p>
