Fondant And Cream Cheese,lots Of Questions
Decorating By Katie-Bug Updated 24 Oct 2006 , 3:38pm by aundron
My cream cheese icing is everyone's favorite, but I am going to try and make my first cake covered in MMF this weekend! Can or should I use cream cheese under it or would something else work better?
Also, I have printed the recipe for the MMF, is there some changes I need to make to it before I start in?
Can I make this fondant earlier in the week and use it on Friday?
Maybe that's it for now! Thanks, Katie 
I made a diabetic cake a couple of weeks ago and used cream cheese frosting then decorated with fondant accents (the vegetable basket in my photos). I have not worked with mmf, but want to share my experience, just in case...the cream cheese seemed to react with the fondant, causing it to melt. This, of course, was only made worse by the fact that the cream cheese frosting required refrigeration, which is not fondant friendly. By the time, they picked up the cake a few hours later, the veggies were bleeding and sliding off the cake, the slats for the basket were sliding and collapsing down the sides and everything was becoming a mess. I doubt that the cake made it to the time of presentation to the birthday 'boy'.
I hope you have better luck.
