I have a request for a chocolate wedding cake with chocolate icing...the bride doesn't want any "frills" at all - in fact, she wants the top edge to be smooth and "flow" over the edge - not a sharp edge. Is there a recipe for a chocolate frosting that will do this or should I thin out my regular icing to make it flow... Help

I'm just guessing, but it sounds like she wants the cake to look rounded rather than flat, they're now selling pans that do this but you can do it with your icing. No, I'd make buttercream icing and add cocoa powder to make it chocolate, and keep the icing as fluffy as possible so you can round it off.
I have one video where the decorator is using a wide spatula bent to form just a curve that rounds the edges; another one uses Klear Bands, they are available at Sugarcraft.com in their Tools and Equipment classification. Hope this helps!

I think somebody invented this style cake to make covering with fondant easier. LOL Janice

Or you could use ganache, that will run to the bottom of the cake & it will look rounded. It tastes wonderful!!! You first put on a coat of Choc BCI on the cake then pour the ganache over it. The ganache recipe is on CC. Look in icings. I will look just to make sure ok.~

ok I looked.. just go to recipes to the right of home. Type in Ganache & it will show you all the ganache recipes. There all easy & yummy!

Here is a link to an article on creating faux fondant. I've never tried it so I hope it helps!

I tried the Faux Fondant & it works great! You should try it Luceymoose! I also like the plastic soda bottle tool! I use it for regular BCI too! It's great for the sides. Carol Ann uses Faux Fondant too & likes it.

O.K. What is the 'plastic soda bottle tool'?

Thanks for all your help - I'll do a test cake with Ganache then try the faux fondant...I'm hoping for a happy bride!

Faux fondant is a buttercream recipe that crusts really nice which allows you to get the smooth look of fondant. It is under receipes. I have never used it, but use crusting buttercream that also does the same thing.

Click on the link in Luceymoose's post for the bottle.

coke bottle tool... You just cut out a shape that looks kinda like a shoe horn (that you use to get shoes on with). It is very flexible & goes with the curves of your cake. Like veejaytex said look up at luceymooses post & click on what she posted. Also look it up on recipes. It won't hurt to try it. It tastes really good too. I liked it`
