When you start decorating cakes you will find rolling out fondant is a trick. Before you can work with the fondant you want to get it soft enough to allow it to spread.
Rolling out fondant is easiest when you knead it just like if it was bread. You want to get it to a soft smooth state. From there you will use a nice heavy rolling pin. A marble pin will work fine.
If this is new to you don't start large. Have a smaller cake to cover. If you have worked with pie crust this is similar to pie dough. If you are coloring your fondant a different color you will add the coloring once you have a nice soft ball. just keep working in the color until it is where you want it. This can wear you out. But once you practice it gets easier.
Rolling out fondant can get easier with practice. If you are rolling it and don't like the color yet just put it back to the ball stage and work the color in. Roll from the center out to keep a level layer.
Once you have got a piece large enough to cover your cake, stop. Put the piece over your cake and trim it. Smooth it over the cake with you hands. You might want to wet your hands a little bit to smooth your fondant easier.
You will be amazed at how much fun you can have as you practice cake decorating. Rolling out fondant correctly can be fun. There are lots of great ideas you can learn if you are really interested in cake decorating.
