FROSTING/ICING: Fondant or Buttercream
FONDANT
This technique consists of covering the cake with Fondant. However, because I work with the cake moistened, they don’t sacrifice texture and taste for aesthetics.
This technique is a little bit more expensive than buttercream.
Cake covered with fondant should NOT be kept in the fridge as it is a more heat resistant cake, but instead before the party it should be kept it in a cold room -- around 69/70 degrees Fahrenheit.
BUTTERCREAM
This technique consists of covering the cake with buttercream (it is a cream). The decorative components may be fondant, stationery work, or even natural decorations like flowers. The client should clarify which decorative model they prefer to receive an accurate quote.
This cake must be kept in the refrigerator until the time of the event and if there is additional care it can be used at outside parties.
On cold days, the cake has to be out of the fridge for about 90 minutes before cutting as to make it more creamy.
Remember, we only book the date with the first payment. Custom Cakes have a final confirmation with all details. The customer has to make sure everything is there, because we follow the final confirmation to make your beautiful cake.
