A Lot Of Questions, Because I'm Clueless!
Decorating By amdodson Updated 26 Mar 2007 , 3:05am by Doug
Well lets see, I discovered fondant cakes when me and my daughter were looking at cakes in a cake book at the store the other day, trying to find her a cake for her 3rd birthday. Now I'm really interested in making one and if it goes good I would like to make them all the time. I use to bake all the time and loved (love) it, but I would love to decorate also.
So the questions are, after I told my story, lol.
I would like to know if the all ready made fondant is good and if you make your own cake batter or if I can use out of a box. Is there a certain pan I have to use or since I'm poor, lol, if I can use my little like 3" high pans and stack them. umm just really the basics because I don't do to good on the instructions on sites I just don't understand, but coming from someone it's a whole lot easier. So any info on fondant tier cakes (birthday) would b so nice.
Thanks, I'd appreciate it!

no not all ready made fondant is good especially, seems almost all here agree, Wilton's. Many use Satin Ice. And many more make their own --> MMF http://www.cakecentral.com/article47-How-to-Make-and-Decorate-with-Marshmallow-Fondant-MMF.html
yes those 3" pans will work....torte and fill them for extra height and flavor.

re: mix / scratch -- very personal and debateable
for the from a box mix -- many doctor it w/ the extender recipe: http://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-1977-0-Cake-Mix-extender.html
