What is fondant frosting?2018-06-27T21:24:24+00:00

Fondant frosting is a sugar dough that is applied to the surface of a cake to make it very smooth, almost porcelain like. It does go over the buttercream frosting, so that if your guests do not prefer the fondant, they can simply peel it back and eat the frosting underneath. We offer wedding cakes in both buttercream and fondant frostings, and we recommend that you sample both if you come in for a cake tasting.

If you bring us a picture of a cake done in fondant, but want it to look like buttercream, please keep in mind it will not look the same. The only way to achieve a flawless finish is through using fondant. Buttercream will show spatula marks, and air bubbles, and is also affected by heat and humidity. If you choose a buttercream wedding cake for the summer months, it must be placed in a venue that has a cool, air conditioned enviroment. We do not do buttercream wedding cakes for outdoor weddings. We typically do not do gumpaste or sugar flowers on buttecream wedding cakes, fresh flowers only.
