frosting or fondant on cake?
im trying to make my friend a barbie cake for her birthday next week and have been looking at different pictures and videos of how to make it. ive noticed that about half the people use frosting the others use fondant. so my question is… what do you think i should use frosting or fondant?
thank you in advanced
If you’re new in decorating cakes then you should go with simple frosting (butter cream, cream cheese or whipped cream). Fondant requires a lot of practice. Even before covering your cake with fondant, you have to frost it with butter cream. Definitely fondant looks very professional and it doesn’t get messed up easily like other frostings.
I have been baking and decorating cakes for a long time but until recently I didn’t decorate them with fondant and so far has done a few.
