Using Buttercream under Fondant


Ask Little Lady Cakes


Hi Jeannie,


I tried to email you back, but I received a "Technical details of permanent failure:
DNS Error: Domain name not found," automated message. Hopefully, you will come back here to see my answer. :) As for all my readers, always feel free to shoot me a message and I'll try my best to answer all your questions.


You asked about the purpose of using buttercream with fondant.


The buttercream will act like a glue and provide something for your fondant to adhere to. Some use piping gel for this purpose, but I prefer the flavor of buttercream with fondant. The key to using buttercream underneath fondant is to make sure the surface is smooth because imperfections will show through the fondant.



Happy Cake Decorating and Cake Baking!

I like the way buttercream taste and so does the family. Too scared to try fondant, but the look of it is wonderful.

Does buttercream with fondant make the taste worthy of eating?
