Ask The Celebration Advisor: I'm making my niece a Spongebob Squarepants cake for her second birthday but I don't know where I could purchase any roll out frosting? Could you tell me where I might find some? Laina

I believe what you are calling roll out frosting goes by the name fondant. You can purchase fondant icing or make your own. I personally have no experience in purchasing or making fondant icing. However, I found a website that has very detailed instructions on how to make fondant icing. Go to Fondant Icing 101 – Marshmallow Fondant. These detailed instructions will walk you through the process with step-by-step instructions including adding food coloring and the proper technique for apply the fondant.
There are places that sell pre-made fondant as well as fondant mixes. Try a cake decorating supply store or a crafts store. I'm sure that there are place online that sell fondant but I not sure which ones to recommend. You might start with Wilton.com. They have fondant and all the cake accessories you need. Hopefully someone else will have others idea of where to buy fondant.
