This may be a silly question, but I am new to this. I have a mom who is requesting a cake, but her daughter does not want a regular cake she wants an ice cream cake covered in fondant. Is it possible to make round cakes out of ice cream and then cover them with fondant? Thanks.

I have never tried it before, but my instinct says no, moisture and fondant doesnt go together. I dont put fondant covered cakes in the fridge because it can land up a gooey mess.
So ice cream cake and no fridge is disaster no 1, and when the ice cream melts the fondant will follow

Hmm, I'd think you have to work fast while covering! But SatinIce is the only brand of fondant I believe that can be refrigerated/frozen. http://www.satinfinefoods.com/handling.shtml
I've never frozen SatinIce myself.

Thanks for posting Satinice. Interesting.
The photo gallery is worth looking at.
Would love to do marblizing like that!

my instinct would say no also. I mean you would obviously have to keep it in the freezer until it was to be cut, and i would think it would make the fondant pretty hard, but i am not sure.
