I have an order for a very large birthday cake for a party at 2pm on saturday. The only time I have to do this cake is on thursday. My question is about the fondant. Will this be way to early to apply fondant to a cake? I'm worried about it getting too hard. How do I prevent this?
I forgot to add that i dont do a whole lot of fondant work, hence the uncertainty with this cake.
Anyone???? I'm really worried about this. I dont want a hard cake on saturday!
I have a 2 layer 14" and a 2 layer 12" to be stacked. I'm putting a large Elmo made from candy melts on top.
I think what I'll do is just go ahead and bake and crumb coat and then wrap them well and get up very early saturday and finish the fondant covering and trimming. The candy melt is already made. I'm worried about how heavy it is. I'll be doing lots of dowling!
Thank you so much ladies for helping me work thru this one. I've been caking for 3 years now but this is by far the largest cake I've done.
Forgot to add that I'll be using FondX fondant. I took a class with Bronwyn Weber in November and she told us that its the only kind she'll use so I switched from Satin Ice.
