asking for a friend -- if your cake is ganached and not coming from the fridge but is room temp -- do you need to spritz it with water before fondanting -- always had mine in the fridge anyway --

thank you!

I always have mine in the fridge, too, but I am betting that you would need to spritz lightly, since the ganache would be dry.

i was thinking spritz a bit -- but y'know how the simplest thing in baking can sometimes bring about a tsunami of un-welcome change? this might be one of 'em -- don't know -- i can envision the fondant sliding off and holes tearing -- omg hahahahahha

What about using a little bit of Crisco to help it stick?  I've used it on my cake dummies and a tiny bit would not change the flavor.
