Good afternoon everyone! I have a wedding cake in January, and the bride wants their family recipe cake. It's a spice/chocolate, dense type cake. They normally frost it with a 7 minute frosting, but she wants fondant. Is there a way to thicken up this type of frosting (without sacrificing on taste) so, I could maybe use it between layers as a filling? Any suggestions would be wonderful!! Thank you bunches!! thumbs_up.gif

A 7 minute frosting should be good to use as it is for a frosting....don't know why it would be too thin???

I actually want to use it to fill the layers in each tier, and this cake is a very dense cake it's not quite thick enough to hold up without squishing out tge sides.

You just need to dam it with a thick buttercream.
