Butter can be used instead of shortening for fondant. Other ingredients needed with this recipe include corn syrup, vanilla and salt.
Yes you can.
no
Nope. Overworked fondant is bad fondant. Conceivably you could but the finished product would be worse then if the cake was merely frosted with butter cream which I would suggest if you find fondant too difficult.
Fondant and butter cream are not cakes, but types of frosting. A Topsy-turvy whimsical cake is a cake shape. Fondant is made up of gelatin, confectioners sugar and water. It goes on in sheets, and is layered. It's dries hard. Butter cream is made out of confectioners sugar, butter, and shortening. It's a very sweet icing. Topsy-turvy whicmiscal cake shape is shapes that usually tilt and look like they are often falling over, but the types of shapes and placements can vary.

NO
store bought fondant is not as good as it looks. what i think is that homemade fondant is by far the best. bakers usually put butter cream to make it taste better. hope this helped.
No, it won't
Use rolled fondant instead of butter cream icing. It will be less likely to have issues in the heat.
You can, but since fondant is used mainly for its smooth appearance and not used as a 'solo frosting', you first need to ice the cake with a cream cheese frosting, which is the more commonly used frosting for carrot cakes. The fondant can then be added on top of that for decorating purposes if you like.
Make one cake and slice it in half and either spread the butter cream over it and sandwitch them together. Or, make two halves of a cake and spread the butter cream over it and sandwitch them together.
No. You do not have to put icing under the fondant on a cake. You can bake a cake and not put any icing on it and just put fondant on it if you wish. No law forces you to put icing on the cake. With that said, How do you plan to stop the icing at the edge of the fondant? Which will you apply first? Normally sugar in the the icing causes it to stick to the cake and also causes the fondant to stick to the icing. So if you have messy people eating your cakes and do not want the fondant to fall off the plates onto the rug as they walk around the living room at a party, it would be best to use icing as a glue.
Usually a whole cake has more calories than a stick of butter.
Wilton is good doesnt taste the greatest and satin ice fondant is what cake boss uses
