Sure, you can make flowers out of fondant, gumpaste, modeling chocolate, or buttercream; which material is best to use depends on what you want to do with the flowers after you make them, how long you want them to last, how hard you need them to be, etc. You can get a ton of information on each of the above mediums at CakeCentral.com, as well as countless other websites. Cakesbydesign.cc (Not .com) is a great place for supplies and info. If you do a search on fondant or gumpaste flowers, you'll get more info than you ever wanted! :)
Frosting is made with sugar - usually confectioners' sugar - liquid and butter. Flour is not used in making frosting.
The best frostings to stand up in the heat are fondant frosting and royal frosting.
Yes. they are both technical frosting.
the frosting
Use a cool frosting tip to design the frosting, have a nice colored frosting, and fondant designs on top don't hurt
No, chocolate cake won't show through fondant and for the crumb coat, you shouldn't use frosting, you should use buttercream.
Frosting is not made with flour; it is most often made with powdered (confectioners') sugar and shortening, or some other sugar that is caramelized then whipped to spreading consistency.
All it is is a thick type of icing used to cover and decorate pastries
Yes, Oreo cake can be covered in fondant. To achieve a smooth finish, it's best to freeze the cake briefly after frosting it with a layer of buttercream, which helps the fondant adhere better. Make sure the cake is completely cooled before applying the fondant to prevent melting or deformation. Additionally, the rich flavor of the Oreo cake pairs nicely with the sweetness of the fondant.
No.. Eating a large amount of frosting on its own isn't good for you anyway (its alot of sugar and over all can make you sick) adding flour wont take that away.
i would say yes but to make it look good you want to first crumb coat it so what you do is simply add a very thin layer of frosting and refrigerate then take it out and frost it its better this way it helps for crumbs not to come off and it looks OS much nicer either that or buy fondant add a very small layer of frosting to your cake and put the fondant and it looks very nice that is actually what bakers do Let me know if this helped you out =)
