INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make the icing as even as possible, keeping the coating around 1412 inch (0.641.27cm) thick on the top and sides of the cake. Try to make the icing as smooth as you can so that there are no bumps or ridges when you add the fondant. In general, the icing doesn't have to look perfect, since people won't really be able to see it when they look at the cake. As long as it tastes yummy, your cake will be great! Work the dusted fondant between your hands and the surface of the counter. Press, pull, squeeze, and roll the dough to warm it up and make it easier to use. If you're using store bought fondant, check the packaging to see approximately how long you should knead the icing. When the fondant is ready, it will be warm and easy to stretch. If it's soft and sticky, let it harden and try kneading it again to get it to the perfect consistency. When your fondant is pliable, roll it out into a sheet that is large enough to cover the top and sides of the cake. Make the sheet around 34 inch (1.9cm) thick so that it won't tear or crack when you handle it. Remember to flip the fondant over and roll both sides to ensure that it's smooth. If you want to ensure that your fondant is an even width, use a spacer attachment on your rolling pin, or set up spacer bars on your workspace before you begin rolling it out. These will keep your rolling pin at a level height and prevent dents and dips in the icing. Make sure the cake is completely cool, and then use your hands to carefully lift the fondant over your rolling pin. Try to wrap it around the rolling pin slightly, if possible, so that it doesn't rip or wrinkle. Hold the rolling pin with one hand and support the hanging edges of the fondant with the other. Using a rolling pin will make applying the fondant to the cake easier. If you don't have a rolling pin available, you can use any smooth, cylindrical object, like a tall vase or cup. Hold the rolling pin at the side of the top of the cake so that some of the fondant is hanging over one side of the cake. Then, slowly roll the pin to the uncovered side of the cake, unrolling the fondant so that it loosely covers the sides and top all around the cake. When you drape it, the fondant should be smooth along the top and looser around the sides of the cake. Starting at the top of the cake, rub the smoother along the fondant with light pressure to remove any bubbles and ensure that it's stuck to the icing. Then, gently pull the fondant away from the sides of the cake, and use your hands to smooth it around the sides so that there are no creases or ridges. Remember to go around the sides of the cake with the smoothing tool to make sure everything is flat. Be careful not to pull too hard on the fondant, or it can rip. Stretch the fondant gently so that you can carefully smooth it down without creasing. Use a specialty fondant trimmer or pizza cutter to roll around the bottom edge of the cake. Pull away the excess fondant so you have a clean, smooth line where the sides of the cake meet the tray or plate. Work in small sections at a time to ensure you don't pull the fondant away from the icing. If you have some creasing at the bottom edge of the cake, you can carefully smooth it out with your fingers.

SUMMARY: Apply a crumb coat to the cake so that the fondant sticks to the surface. Knead the fondant until it's soft and pliable. Roll out the fondant with a rolling pin. Rest the fondant sheet over the rolling pin to transport it. Drape the fondant over the top of the cake. Use your hands and a smoother to adhere the fondant to the icing. Trim the excess fondant around the base of the cake.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Select a broad leaf herbicide that matches your weeds. This type of herbicide is useful for eliminating clover, dandelions and ragweed. If the weed you want killed is not on the label, don't buy it. Watch for child and pet warnings! READ and FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS on the container. Products are frequently supplied with spray bottles so you can apply them directly to the weeds. Make sure it's not windy or you can end up killing plants you wanted or were going to eat. This will allow you to efficiently apply a large amount of chemical weed killer to the whole lawn. Remove any toys, furniture, pets or clothing before you spray. The chemicals can be dangerous to people and animals.

SUMMARY: Identify and find herbicides for the weeds in your lawn. Apply the herbicide with whatever applicator it comes with. Treat entire patches of weeds and spot-kill the few isolated weeds that sprout up around the yard. Attach a sprayer to your garden hose if you have an entire lawn of weeds that are out of control or have not received any attention for a long time.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you grow Lantana from seed you have harvested, you may not get a plant exactly like the parent plant. When you propagate Lantana from cuttings, the plants you grow will be more predictable. Propagate Lantana cuttings in the spring. Take about five inches of fresh, healthy-looking growth, remove the lower leaves and dip the cutting in rooting hormone or powder. Then insert the lower two inches into a pot with moist cutting compost. Cover the pot that you have placed your cutting in either with a clear plastic bag or an inverted clear plastic bottle with the spout cut off; doing this makes a mini greenhouse of sorts. Make sure the plastic doesn't touch the cuttings; use plant sticks to support the bag and keep it away from the stem if necessary. If you keep your cutting moist, it should root in about a month. After the last frosts have passed you can harden your cutting off and plant it out in the garden. Hardening off means that you slowly acclimatize your cutting to outdoor temperatures. This could mean moving it outside during the day, and then storing it in your garage overnight. If you do grow your Lantana from seed, start the Lantanas off indoors about a month before the last frosts occur. Seeds may take a few weeks to germinate. If you are growing from seeds, fill a pot with potting soil and plant the seeds. Keep the pots in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.

SUMMARY: Be aware of the benefits of growing from cuttings. Prepare the cutting for propagation. Cover your cutting. Keep the cutting moist. Grow your Lantanas from seed if you can't get a healthy cutting.
