Crimping must be done on fresh fondant before it seals.
Fondant needs to be rolled slightly thicker then normal.
Keep the rest of the cake covered with plastic wrap if crimping around a whole cake or cake board.
Remember to adjust the band to keep the crimpers at an even dstance,
Insert crimper into fondant, pinch, release then lift crimper off.
