I usually decorate my cupcakes, cakes, etc with fondant accents if not entirely with fondant. It depends on my mood :P Most websites I've stumbled across advise you to cover your rolling surface with icing sugar to prevent sticking but how to you get the icing sugar off your fondant once it's rolled out?! I don't want the colours that took me forever to knead to come out dusty looking I'm the past I've tried brushing them off, which doesn't really work at all. Or waiting till their all placed then gently trying to use a dampened pastry brush to clean them up, this gets their colour back no problem. But if it's a strong colour like red or blue it tends to bleed into the icing a bit (very unappetizing, especially with red) Any tips?
