I was wondering if anyone else experiences this....when i cover with fondant, i obviously have a crumb coat, chilled, then put another layer of frosting over, then cover in fondant BUT the fondant just doesn't seem to look as 'tight' on the cake....almost as if I shouldn't bother putting the 2nd coat of frosting over the crumb coat....i hope this is making sense
can the fondant stick to a cake that has been chilled? or does the frosting have to be 'wet' in order for it to stick? I've just always covered the cake 'wet'.....
Thanks CC!
I know everything seems to say that the frosting is a "glue" to make the fondant stick, but I just do one coat of frosting, let it dry and then apply my fondant. It seems to stick just fine and I like it better that if I get a tear I can take it off and do it again without it being covered in frosting.
I have chilled first. Sometimes the frosting is not wet enough to make the fondant stick, so I just brush on a little bit of water. Never had any problems.
most ppl that i bake for like a lot more than just a crumb coat - that's where my prob comes in b/c i want to add extra frosting, but that's where the fondant doesn't come out looking neat and pressed tightly enough against the cake????

To solve that problem on cakes that use buttercream as a filling, I add more frosting in the middle of the layers.
