I know that MMF can break down with too much sugar in the attaching medium, but how much is too much?

I am attempting a raspberry butter cream with MMF over it, do I need to be worried about the sugar content? Would I be better off with a glaze of raspberry jam?

I haven't ever had my MMF breakdown and I cover all of my fondant cakes in buttercream before covering in fondant. I think you will be safe with your raspberry buttercream.

I think the problem is how you make the raspberry. I tried this last time using preserves and it was a HUGE mess. The BC broke down and the fondant just slid and I had to start all over. But, if you have a good BC, then the fondant will be totally fine.

Thank you I made a raspberry buttercream to cover the cakes first then mmf. It was perfect no problems at all with it breakingdown.

Thanks for your words of wisdom
