Ha,ha,ha...Can't remember!  I watched Kathy on Sweetwise do it, then I tried it.  Now I use the mat to roll everything out on, just not both sheets, only the bottom one....ssoooo, I probably flour it so it won't stick now. lol  Then I pick it up using both hands & part of the forearm to lay it over the cake.  Never had much luck with doubling it over the rolling pin either.  But!  I am not a lost cause, I will be brave and try it again, using the greased mat!  Thanks !

Did you put some shortening on your mat before placing your fondant?

I already have the mat, tried that a few times without success.  It usually tears about the time I am about 3/4 of the way finished.   And pulling tight does not seem to help.  Guess I just need more practice.

Yes you can, just knead it well. Better to use a fondant mat for covering so that you don't need to roll the fondant around the rolling pin for it might crack. Please watch this : http://sweetwise.com/the-pro-mat.html

Got it!  Thanks for the nondairy version, I always use it, just in case my granddaughter gets hold of something I make. lol

Can this be rolled thin for putting on a cake?  Most people don't want thick fondant.

I'll send you a  message for the fondant recipe.

You have a lot going on here Maria..., and the fondant could not be smoother!
