The amount of icing needed for making cake pops varies depending on the recipe and personal preference. Typically, about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of icing is used for every 1 cup of crumbled cake. It's important to add the icing gradually until the mixture reaches a dough-like consistency that can be easily rolled into balls.
For making cake pops, you should use about 1 cup of frosting for every 1.5 to 2 cups of crumbled cake.
That depends entirely on the cake and many recipes would not using icing at all. You should use chocolate icing and make sure its enough to cover the surfact of the cake. Nevertheless, the best thing to do is find a particular recipe and follow it (try cooks.com). In time you'll get used to it and will be able to make it the way YOU like it.
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.
It all depends on the type of cake, the icing, any filling, how big the slice is, and the flavor of the cake.
A gram is VERY small. Of cake, it would be only a fraction of a slice...of plain cake, with no icing or toppings or anything of that sort.
yes however do not use too much.
No, it is not necessary to have a highly dense wedding cake if it has a great deal of decorations. Example: The wedding cake can be made as a normal cake; carrot cake, etc., and on the semi-soft icing the baker can put frosting flowers on it, but live flowers are also very popular and do not weight that much. If the decorations are elaborate and fairly weighty then it is the hardness of the icing that will support the decorations.
Canned icing is not ideal for piping. It has a great consistency for spreading on a cake. You may be able to get it thick enough to pipe simply by adding confectioners sugar to it. Try adding 1/4 cup at first and mixing it in. In order to pipe, it should be thick enough to stand up on top of a spoon. Some decorations such as roses require much thicker icing. I wouldn't even try to do them with canned icing. But, if you have confectioner's sugar on hand, you're better off just making icing from scratch.
One method is to spread fruit jam (or jelly for those from the USA) on the cake prior to icing(frosting). Traditional flavours used are apricot and raspberry. Jam is also used to help stiff icings like royal icing adhere to the cake.
I have no idea about the cost of fondant. However, you can make an at-home version of fondant by melting icing to a liquidey consistency or by applying icing as it is from the tub to a still-hot cake. This will cause the icing to melt, but as you layer it, it will cool and form an icing that is more consistent with fondant, than the thick spread that is usually on cake.
