I have really caught on to covering cakes in fondant but I have noticed that after I have covered the cake it tends to pull away from the sides a little. I am just wondering if after I ice my cake in buttercream do I need to also spray on a little water. Does anybody have any hints as to what I am doing wrong to cause the fondant not to stick in certain spots or any suggestions on what to do to make the cake stick to the sides better. Thanks for any advice!
I used to have that problem, but I haven't had it since I started chilling the cakes before I cover them. I think the little bit of condensation that forms sticks the fondant down to the buttercream all over.
Can you refrigerate fondant on the cake?
You will get many answers to this.
I always refrigerate my cakes and fortunately, I never had a single problem.
If you can do it without refrigerating (no perishable fillings, cool room), then it would be fine on the counter.
I too always refrigerate my cakes and have never had any problems (knock on wood) some people don't because fondant can sweat and cause problems like if you airbrush your cakes it could cause the color to run.
