Have a question about using fondant on a Teddy bear 3D cake between chocolate ganache and buttercream fur. Some tutorials suggest first covering the cake with fondant and then apply buttercream fur which means you have to eat a fondant layer between chocolate and buttercream. Doesn't sound yammy. Some people don't like fondant, there is no way you can leave it on a plate because it is an inside layer. Has somebody tried to do it without fondant? It might be tricky. I am a beginner).
I would just use buttercream for everything. Crumb coat the cake in buttercream and then chill for a bit. Then do another nicer layer of buttercream, then chill. Finally pipe on the "fur." This way the base layer matches the fur so if there are any missed spots or less compact spots with the fur you won't really notice. There is really no reason to have to cover the bear in fondant.
I've only made one, but I did it exactly as Freckles0829 and jchuck suggested, buttercream all the way. No ganache, no fondant.
