No. They buy it.
Wilton is good doesnt taste the greatest and satin ice fondant is what cake boss uses
No. Fondant is made for a cake meant for looks. Icing is made for a regular cake.
For the actual "hat" part of the cake, stack about three layers of pound cake, dirty ice it and cover it with fondant. For the strip that wraps around the hat, use a piece of fondant. For the brim, mold it out of rice crispy treats and cover it with fondant.
Marzipan under fondant icing makes the cake too sweet, because fondant icing makes the cake too sweet on their own. It is better to use a buttercream with less sugar.
Gum paste is said to roll out thinner and easier than fondant. Fondant in usually used to cover a cake and gum paste is used to make decorations.
Fondant is best for outdoor weddings.
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.
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.
Fondant won't really "preserve" a piece of cake. It will keep it fresher a bit longer, but the cake will still go bad soon thereafter.
Not originally is is not, no.
