Also know, how do you attach buttercream to fondant?
Dip your pastry brush in a small bowl of water. Shake it gently to remove excess water, and lightly brush the underside of your fondant decoration. If you are applying your decoration to fresh buttercream icing, you can skip this step. Fresh buttercream icing is a suitable adherent by itself.
People also ask, how far in advance can I make fondant decorations?
you use. With a basic butter cake, the fondant covering should be done no more than 2 to 3 days in advance of decorating and serving. A cake only remains fresh that long anyway and because fondant is sugar based, it's also how long it can stand without breaking down from the moisture in the cake.
Ways to Harden Fondant
- To harden fondant in the oven, set the oven to warm and let it heat for 5 minutes. Turn the oven off.
- To harden fondant using a blow dryer, set the pieces on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Set the dryer to its lowest setting and hold it 1 to 1 1/2 feet away from the fondant.
