That trimming is to take the edge off the top of the tier so that when you scrape /sculpt the icing over the edge with the shaping tool it will be possible to round it off so that it looks like a rolled icing. I use the Viva paper towel to smoothe and stretch the edge into a nice curve. I don't use butter in my icings so I can't answer that one. But since you do use cake flour in this one maybe butter wouldn't be a big issue. That's a guess on my part though. To trim I just take clean kitchen scissors and cut the edge off each tier (they are already filled and stacked) then I go ahead with my icing. Works great for my. Also scissors give me more control than using a knife for this.. |

When you use rolled BC do you put it over BC just like you would with MMF Can you make shapes, flowers, and such with it? |

I can't enlarge the pictures, either, so I can't tell what the deal is with the pop tool, either. Help! |

I just looked up the faux fondant tutorial, I can not open the pictures either, and just don't understand the process with the "pop tool". Hopefully someone can explain the process or help with the pictures enlargements. Thanks. |

I use the faux fondant and crusting buttercream recipes all the time. For smoothing with the paper towel, I use the regular fondant smoother, a spoon for individual spots and a little spatula type tool that I'll try and post a pic of. TC turtleshell, I live in Baton Rouge and have not had a problem with the humidity yet. The most recent cake was done in early June and I didn't have a problem with smoothing. I'll post a pic of it. If you want to take a trip to Baton Rouge before the wedding cake is due, I'll be happy to help you with it. |

How well does the recipe lend itself to being colored with food coloring? |

The pictures don't enlarge on this tutorial for me, either. Can some admin please look into it? I really want to try this technique on a cake I have due Saturday, but it's so hard to see the part about the pop bottle tool!
Thanks! |

Although I don't care much for the taste (very crisco-y) this recipe and technique ROCKS MY SOCKS! My cake is smooth as a baby's rear end!
Thanks! |

This effect is commonly known as "Faux Fondant"
SewSweet2 has recently posted a detailed step-by-step article on how to get the "look" of fondant with buttercream icing.

Is it just me... but I can not get the pictures to enlarge to see the bottle that she made. |
