Whip till light and fluffy (approx 10 minutes)<BR/><BR/>Sometimes if I just need a bit of buttercream to stick the fondant to the cake, I will just mix a bit of butter with some icing sugar. It does not need to be very sweet as what you want is just to have something sticky for the fondant to adhere to the cake. You can also use a light color jam instead. Try not to use strawberry/blackberry jam unless you intend the fondant covering to be dark colored. Otherwise the dark colored jam will show through.Rustihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156650312037949881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31241155.post-21168583278957677312007-05-16T18:19:00.000+08:002007-05-16T18:19:00.000+08:00Ginny, I need to make a fondant cake for my nephew...Ginny, I need to make a fondant cake for my nephew's birthday this saturday, but just realised that the filling cannot be whipping cream, can share your recipe of buttercream filling?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31241155.post-1161852298562416912006-10-26T16:44:00.000+08:002006-10-26T16:44:00.000+08:00Lovely cake!
