Fondant Icing is rolled sugar dough placed on top of buttercream icing. So, when we do a cake in fondant icing, we have to ice the cake first, then roll out the fondant and ice it a second time. Therefore, fondant iced cakes are more time consuming and thus cost more.
This depends on your taste and style preference. Fondant iced cakes have a beautiful, sleek, and elegant look. They look beautiful with ribbon wrap and/or beaded borders. Unlike buttercream-iced cakes, they do not have a top border, and the bottom border can be small. Fondant iced cakes also have a slightly beveled top edge. Fondant is an amazing tool that can be made to look like material draping or pleating and many other things.
This is fine if you like designs that are well suited to buttercream. Victorian and other designs look beautiful on buttercream. However, if you want ribbon wrap or beaded borders, consider fondant, as these designs don’t look as nice on buttercream. If you insist on us making a buttercream iced cake look like fondant, the cake will cost the same as a fondant-iced cake, if not more, as it will become more time-consuming. We do not do beveled edges on buttercream cakes.
First, have you tried our fondant? Fondant technique and skill varies tremendously in the US, as even professionals argue about the proper techniques. Our fondant is rolled between 1/8” and 1/4”, placed over buttercream, and is kept refrigerated until your cake is delivered. If you are still in doubt, we can provide a sample of fondant in your wedding samples.
We have wedding cake tasting available for purchase on our website here. Please order your samples online to be picked up at your convenience.
