For the basketweave wedding cake, I actually used buttercream with a tip #47. I found that the trick for smooth buttercream for the basketweave technique is to first make a medium-thin consistency for icing instead of a medium. If you're trying to ice a regular cake completely smooth, check out my post - http://sweetindulgencescakes.com/?p=23 For smooth fondant - first you'll need a good brand such as Satin Ice. Then you really need to knead it to a playdough like consistency. Sometimes I even throw mine in the microwave for 30 seconds or so before I roll it out. Thanks so much for reading and feel free to shoot me any more questions you have. Hi Helen! For the basketweave wedding cake, I actually used buttercream with a tip #47.

Buttercream? Water? My fondant doesn't look as smooth as yours! Any help would be appreciated. How did you get it to look so smooth? Buttercream? Water? My fondant doesn’t look as smooth as yours!
