Hi every one ,I have a question to all the SMB and IMB users. Do you cover your cakes with these before covering it with fondant??? When ever I covered my cakes with SMB and then fondant I had problems with the finish.either fondant slips off or there is bulging .Any help and pointers are well come .I love SMB and would love to keep using it.
I've used the SMBC under fondant and didn't have any problems. The best thing to do is refrigerate the cake after icing with the MBC before putting the fondant on.
I have wondered about using the IMBC under fondant myself. I can seee where it would helpf if you refrigerate it before covering in fondant, but what about after you covered it? The IMBC will come back to room temp and will that cause the fondant to slide or wrinkle?
I haven't had the experience that it did slip or anything. It was fine. Some people say it's best to just put a thin layer on. I do a little more than a thin layer because everyone doesn't really like to eat fondant so there should be a bit of frosting for them to eat.
I used IMBC on my brother's wedding cake under fondant with no problems. I had to use a very thin layer, just enough to make the fondant stick.
hmmm, I use a lot of icing beforing covering it with fondant ,may be that is why I have problems.Every one loves my icing so I try to give them a lot 
.I made Toba 's chocolate icing and had no problems with it .Thanks I'll try to do a thin coat next time.
I've covered a couple with IMBC then chilled until firm then covered in IMBC. It was firm enough to smooth out the fondant. It remained on my counter for a couple of hours without any problems arising from the softening IMBC...no wrinkles or slippage. I did, however, cover 2 frozen ones(I forgot I had them in the freezer), I wanted to see what they would do so I proceeded with the fondant. It was wonderful going on. When the cakes began thawing, SWEAT AND DRIPPAGE. I placed two small clip fans to blow on one of them...it turned out fine...the other one....wound up with a puddle around its' base and produced a couple of bubbles that were easily pressed out. In the end, other than the sweating, they, too, turned out fine...no slipping, wrinkling.
