Buttercream icing or glaze? Advice please.
I'm covering a chocolate cake in rolled fondant. I've never used rolled
fondant before. From what I understand, a thin layer of buttercream icing is generally used to smooth the cake surface and help the fondant stick. No problem. But I also want to use a layer of raspberry filling and possibly glaze the cake in raspberry flavour. Can/should I do this under the buttercream or is the glaze itself sufficient? I'm also kind of concerned about putting a light colour fondant over top of a dark cake. A glaze wouldn't help block the dark colour, but buttercream would. Is there anyone with cake experience who can provide some guidance on this? |

Normally the glaze would suffice, but since it is a dark cake I would do a
thin layer of buttercream for visual purposes. J "Margaret Robinson" > wrote in message . .. > I'm covering a chocolate cake in rolled fondant. I've never used rolled > fondant before.
