How Do You Explain The Diff Between Buttercream & Fondan
Decorating By projectqueen Updated 17 Oct 2007 , 3:53pm by JanH
I just got an inquiry for a wedding cake and when I asked if they were wanting the cakes covered in buttercream or fondant they said they didn't know the difference.
How do you explain in simple concise terms?
I don't want to get into a whole long explanation, but I want to avoid saying buttercream is "soft" and fondant is "hard".
Must be a better explanation, anyone have one?
TIA!
Here's a handy cake baking and decorating terms link:

The description for fondant (which copyright forbids me from copying & pasting) is quite simple and to the point:
