I am thinking on making an ice cream cake in the shape of a boot...16 y/o wants a boot cake for her b-day. She wants it to be a Snicker's flavored cake and how good would ice cream be for the filling!!!

BUT...what about freezing the fondant??? and how hard is it going to be to put the fondant on the cake when the ice cream starts to melt???

Anyone ever tried this???

TIA,
SugarLaced

Well I can't answer from the perspective of an ice cream cake but I have a friend who I made a cake for last week and she took it home and froze the whole thing (2 tier covered in fondant) for a week and took it out to thaw for her party the next weekend. She put fans on it and in the fridge a part of the time to help with the condensation. But in your case you'd serve it frozen. I'm guessing the fondant will be a bunch stiffer but not sure HOW stiff.

Sorry, don't know if this was helpful at all icon_biggrin.gif But at least I can tell you - its ok to freeze the fondant.

Why don't you bake a small cake and try it, for a test run?

I have no idea if this would work, but, what if you made a regular cake, and instead placed Snickers ice cream bars in the middle??

That's a good idea! If I can fit that in with bible school, working 3 days this week and having 2 3D cakes due on Saturday...oh, did I mention that I homeschool!! LOL!! But I wouldn't trade my life for anything icon_lol.gif

I'd be more concerned about how the heck you're going to cut into a frozen fondant covered cake! Nothing less than a chainsaw, I would imagine.

Hi Sugarlaced,
I homeschooled my son also. He just recently joined the Job corps, and received his GED. Hat off to you! thumbs_up.gif
