Alright, so I take this class with Toba G and she said, "You can't
put the gumpaste or fondant with the BC." She said that
the fat in the bc breaks down the fon or paste. I have a cake
due in sept and it's BC on the cake, but I want to use gumpaste
shells and fondant pearls as the border. Has anyone had a problem
putting BC with either gumpaste or fondant? Help anyone!
Thanks for the reply kids.
Well, I'm sorry, but it was Toba's assistant
that taught the class that day. I have
another with her next week and will ask her
directly. Didn't have the time in the last class.
I will than post what she meant. I feel confident
with cc's advice any day!
The fact that she said the fat is what did it makes no sense at all. You work with fondant by using shortening to keep it from sticking and to soften it up. It doesn't break it down.
Too much shortening will soften up or break down your fondant to the point where it is unworkable and unable to hold it's shape. That's why when you use shortening to keep the fondant from sticking you want to use as little as possible.
it was sugar flowers and they were thin, that could break the rose down,
This could quite possible be the reason for her telling you that. Ask her to clarify the reason for you.
