Here I go Again,
I have only decorated cakes in the winter, now with all this humidity and using MMF and doing stacked cakes,whats the best way? In class we were taught to freeze our cakes, and the take them out and do our crumb coat right away and then cover...and put back in the fidge. I see some people on here talking about, putting them in front of a fan, don't refridgate?
Any advice? Thanks
I always chill my cake after the final coat of BC, before putting on the fondant. A firmer base makes it easy to apply fondant.
If you're worried your BC is too soft with the humidity, try this recipe by Val. It is very popular here on CC: http://forum.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-4123-High-Humidity-Buttercream.html
i never use to chill my cakes but down here in south tx our heat and humidity has just gotten out of control so i did so this past week for a father's day cake and found it excellent working condition for the cake! it was easier to frost and w/ val's high humidity recipe it was a huge hit. the cake and frosting held up superbly and that's cause we had it out by the pool! do what i do, try it on fam...if it don't kill them sell it!
