I used to put a lot but I heard that it's better to just put enough to glue the fondant on because less imperfections can be seen and it won't get distorted if and when someone touches the cake, etc., but I think for my next cake I'll put a full coat on- I don't see the harm if the BC is hard.
I put the usual amount on as if I were icing a cake. I like the affect it has on the fondants shape. If you look at my picture that I have attached, the BC kind of rounds out the cakes and so many people have asked me how I did that. I think it makes for a prettier cake.
Doesn't look like it's working. It's in my photos. 2 tier cake white and pink with cornelli lace.
I think less is more, my feeling is if you have too much it can cause air pockets between fondant and icing. I have done several and the ones with more air bubbles seem to always have more icing. I have also noticed on cake shows that they don't use alot of BC under their fondant.
