I am doing my first "real" cake for a baby shower next weekend for 2 sister in laws...and will be trying to combat fondant. I am going to try the MMF recipe I found here.
Here's my questions...I read that you need a good dense cake for fondant, and I've already bought box cakes to use, is there any way that I can make these cakes any more dense to hold the fondant?
thanks a bunch
I always make sure I use a dense cake for fondant as it can be quite heavy and squish your cake, plus you need it firm enough to be able to smooth and shape your fondant. I usually use mud cakes or I use the WASC cake from here. you can play around witht he flavours etc with WASC.
I would have a look at the doctored mixs in the recipe section on here, and see if you can add the mixes you have...with sourcream, pudding extra eggs etc. this makes a denser cake!
HTH ....don't forget to post the pics when your done
