Wilton is good doesnt taste the greatest and satin ice fondant is what cake boss uses
Cake fondant is more for decoration. I myself would not eat cake fondant because of the ingredients. Unless you like food coloring and sugar, cake fondant should be seen not tasted.
You can find a good cake fondant recipe from many different places. The Cooking Network is a great source to use to find all types of delicious recipes. If nothing on the television is of any assistance, you can always try the internet.
Butter can be used instead of shortening for fondant. Other ingredients needed with this recipe include corn syrup, vanilla and salt.
No. Fondant is made for a cake meant for looks. Icing is made for a regular cake.
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.
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.
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.
