Rolled fondant supplies are a little different than cake decorating
supplies. For classic decorating you need pastry tips and pastry bags but
when working with fondant you will need some different tools for
rolling out your fondant and cutting shapes.

the extra supplies that are fun and you can do more with. We'll start
with the basics.

This tool cuts out several different designs that you can add to your
cake Ready made fondant-
These are the brands I recommend for ready made fondant. Whether you
want to buy a 2 lb. or 5 lb rolled fondant depends on how much you will
use it. It lasts up to 1 year wrapped up and stored in a tight
container.
Fondant rolling pin- A
normal rolling pin will work fine also. The
fondant rolling pin helps you measure the exact thickness according to
the rings on the ends.
Fondant mat- Great for
rolling out your fondant and measuring it to the correct size.
Fondant smoother-
Helps shape and smoothes out the fondant once you lay it on the cake. Fondant cutter set leaf-Shape

your fondant flowers on the former set and allow to dry. Flowers will
hold their cupped shape.
Fondant cake decorating can be a lot of fun. Working with fondant is as
easy as playing with play dough.
It is satisfying to see your creations come together and having these
rolled fondant supplies makes creating decorations easier as
well as helps you make a successful fondant cake.
