All the methods mentioned above are excellent…I use a variety of them…
I use different methods for different types of cake designs. For a square or round cake; I use a pizza cutter. For 3D cakes; I use a paring knife or something similar.
Something else I’ve started doing is keeping a small fine mist sprayer on hand. Just before I place the fondant on the cake, I spritz my cake with my mister (filled with either water or a clear liquor). This helps the fondant to adhere to the cake better and reduces the risk of sliding or ripping. But one drawback is, once you put the fondant on there, it’s going to stick. So make sure you place your fondant where you want it the first time :-)
