@Vix101100 It is OK to store fondant in the fridge as long as you let it come to room temp in the package before using it. That way the condensation forms on the bag or bucket and does not soften the fondant.

@blackuredtube Yes, they are buttercream.

Paper towel for colored royal icing and either method for white. For paper towel smoothing, you have to catch royal at just the right crusted stage. If it's too soft, it will stick to the paper towel, if it's too firm, it will get cracks when the paper towel is applied.

You can use any food-safe straight edge that is as long as the full height of the cake. I was using a offset spatula.

It's similar to the BC frosting, but this icing gets more of a thin crust on it--which can be beneficial for decorating (not quite as fragile to the touch). If by pastry frosting, you mean a glaze like on cinnamon rolls, that does not have shortening in it.

Swiss meringue buttercream does not crust so you could not use the paper towel method--but you could use the water method for smoothing.

Thank you for such a wonderful demo, also for sharing your recipe for your award winning cake, I bake for fun for my family and friends and have tried several recipes for cakes from scratch but they alway come out dry no matter what method I use. I always default back to Duncan Hines which I doctor up and the cakes come out moist. Hopefully when I try your recipe it will come out moist.

@yanni5473 Before fondant was commercially available, this is the type of icing used on 95% of cakes--many for summer events. If it's in direct sun/heat, it will melt, of course.
@CakeSuppliesPlus13 жыл бұрын
You should be able to use the water method to smooth the premade frosting--paper towel would not work since most premade frostings do not "crust." But since those icing are sticky, the sugar sheets should attach well.

The water spray method works with whipped cream frosting but not the paper towel method. The icing has to get a crust to use the paper towel method.

Anyone have any tips on how to keep buttercream from peeling off while frosting? The crumb coat comes off about half the time. The caker herself thinks it's the humidity (we live in the deep south). She has a natural talent for baking and decorating, but that base layer (?) of frosting seems to screw her up every time. ANY help at all would be appreciated

Does the cake need a crumb coat before this technique? from the explanation the packing of a lot of frosting keeps you from kicking up the crumbs...
@CakeSuppliesPlus10 жыл бұрын
Using extra icing (that is later taken off) and keeping the spatula from touching the cake, eliminates the need for crumb coating; however, if you are more comfortable using a crumb coat, than can be done also.

Hi, It sounds like you just need to use a little less water. Experiment with the amount for your climate to see the best amount for the icing to crust.
