1. \u00a0Be too lazy to make more buttercream, and just use your small amount of leftover icing that does not entirely cover the outside of the cake. \u00a0This will make it especially tricky to lay your fondant smoothly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Roll your fondant so thin that you can see the marker lines from the mat, through it. \u00a0 If this is your first attempt, make sure you up the ante, and use a press to imprint a design in the fondant, and press too hard and make holes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Lay the fondant over the cake unevenly. \u00a0When you peel it off to re-lay it, make sure you scoop up some crumbs and buttercream in the fondant, so when you roll it out again, you have a nice, natural speckle to the fondant.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Do not watch any tutorial videos, or read any advice prior to finishing the smoothing process. \u00a0Just slap the fondant down on the cake, squeeze the wrinkles out, and hope that the holes fill themselves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5. \u00a0Make a border to cover the huge gap between the cake board and the cake, because you didn’t carve the cake prior to icing.<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0That’s it! \u00a0That is all you need to do to have yourself a completely ugly holey fondant covered cake!<\/p>\n
