Help With Fondant On Chocolate Cake
Decorating By Suzie-A-Qs Updated 27 Apr 2008 , 9:43pm by MacsMom
i have made a chocolate cake that was very moist, covered the board and the cake with fondant, and because the cake was so moist i didnt use anything to stick the fondant to the cake.
next day i pool of sticky, watery iceing looking liquid had aqumulated around the base of the cake so i cleaned itoff and it did exactly the same the next day.
does anyone know of any reason as to why this has happened if so how can i stop it happening again
It was probably the fondant liquifying where the moist cake was touching it. I always put a layer of buttercream on a cake before I put on the fondant no matter how moist the cake is. Not only to avoid bumpy looking fondant, but so that people who don't like fondant can still have an icing on the cake when they take the fondant off. I don't care for eating fondant so I always make sure that there is something for those people who can't stand chewing their icing.
Ihave to say your rag doll cake is brilliant.
