OK, my MMF is kneaded and waiting.
Do I put crusting or NON crusting buttercream on my cake first?

crusting, so you can smooth it out first

I am new to this...not sure what the difference between crusting and noncrusting buttercream is...however I have done a couple of fondant covered cakes and I just the regular buttercream that I would ice a regular cake with. I have never had a problem. After I ice..and it dries a bit...I use the Viva method...then put a little bit of piping gel around the edges...and throw on the fondant...Hope that helps..

not sure but i would think that i does'nt really matter as long as its not to thick and you get a smooth enough surface to lay the fondant over.

maybe someone else can answer this better than me!!!

I don't have a lot of experience, but I always use crusting because I can smooth it out really well before the fondant goes on. It seems the fondant makes any rough spots in your buttercream stand out.

nalyjuan: if you can use the Viva method, you have crusting bc. If it doesn't crust, the bc would stick to the paper towel and pull off the cake when you lift it up. icon_razz.gif
