Jodi, I would love to use fondant too, just don't have the courage with the humidity when it's DD's birthday. I have read there is a recipe to make your own too, that way you can modify it slightly to suit your climate, but I haven't had a look for it yet.
So, since I have never used it myself, I have read a few tips. If you use cornstarch or icing sugar when rolling the fondant out, remember to lay the fondant icing sugar side down on the cake so you don't have white marks all over it IYKWIM?? You could have blue fondant with white icing sugar marks all over it and lay that side out..wouldn't look good.
Youtube like the other girls said. If you go there for a look see, you have to check out Planet Cake. They are down south somewhere? Sydney? But they did Jennifer Hawkins birthday cake. They have 2 videos on youtube, 1 is how to make a bow, the other is how to cover a cake. Pretty cool to watch too.
Also on youtube is the Culinary Institute of America. I love their youtube video of a Cupcake Bouquet..love love love it! It's buttercream, but if you find them, you may find they have some fondant videos??
Cake central like rosie77 suggested is good too.
Did you check the local TAFE for courses? DH's great aunty use to teach them at TAFE years and years ago..
Just checked and Planet Cake is on FaceBook, with a link to their blog
