Also not all pre made brands works either so if you are interested in covering cupcakes with out to much fuss you should try and make this petit four icing. Works really good: http://www.marthastewart.com/335566/petits-fours-icing The fondant that I use in the tutorial is not to be compared with rolled fondant but is more liquid. I have only tried to melt 1 pre made fondant and that was a UK brand. The results with melting home made mmf is not the best I’m afraid.

The reason why you should use abricot is because of the color and the neutral taste. You won't really taste it when the cupcakes is covered with PF. You can use orange jam.

Or , would you suggest I use another method. Thank you in advance for your reply. Best Regards and once again thank you sooo much! Renee Hello Louise!! I love your site!

I was wondering if you have any tips for me? I am trying to make flat cupcakes so when I pour on my fondant it is flat and level with the top of the cupcake case. I have found that when I do this, sometimes the icing is so heavy that it pushes the case away and they look rubbish! Also, if you have any tips for measuring out the mix into the case so I get a level cake with a little room for the icing on top? Please help! Thanks! Hi Louise, I love your cakes!
