Fondant or Buttercream?
 |
| Fondant is that sleek, smooth sugary icing that's typically rolled out and custom fit on the cake layer. It allows for some great artistic creations that can really dazzle a crowd. And, because it takes an experienced professional to create these fantastic artist-like cakes, it typically costs significantly more for any cake using fondant. |
Everything in the picture is made with fondant. |
Buttercream is probably the most popular icing used and a great baker can usually create a very close version of the fondant cake you want, in the softer buttercream icing. The question really comes down to how imporant is the look of the cake versus the budget you have for your cake?
