Okay, so I am going to be making a stacked cake, 10" and 8". It is for a military function so I will be making a fondant flag (MMF) to drape down from the top to the bottom on the side of the cake. I will also be making fondant ropes for the borders and a fondant accent (Majors Leaf) for the top. Now, I cannot decide if I should just ice it with white buttercream or if I should cover it all in white fondant?? Not sure if that would be too much fondant going on....what do you all think?
I made a 3D teddy bear on a 1/4 sheet cake all covered in bc, then draped a fondant baby blaket across the bear and onto the sheet cake.I worked out great. (sorry it was before digital photos). I would think that even if it was all covered in fondant (I'm sure I have seen pics like this) it would be good too.
I think that if you did it all in fondant, just make sure your flag isn't super thick. Even if it's the same standard thickness (1/4"???) It should be fine. Anyone who thinks it's too much can always peel it off. I have seen plenty of cakes with fondant on fondant. You are right, it looks better.
Well, it was a new recipe I tried. I realized later that the wet to dry ratio was off, but that is what the recipe called for. I used 2 c crisco, 1 c butter, and 2 c powdered sugar. I normally uses 1 c butter, 1 c crisco, and 8 cups (2 pounds) powdered surgar. It always turns out so nice. I am going back to that.
I kept reading that MMF was too sweet too, and was afraid to try it, but after making it I don't think it's too sweet at all. Remember, most people are used to bc, and that is sweet.
