Tamara: I have not tried with MMF. But it is important that you dont keep your poured fondant cupcakes in a air thight box. Then it will get sticky.
A cardboard box is the best.

I made the poured fondant cupcakes with MMF and they were beautiful, although rather sticky even after resting for 5 hours. Should I make them the day in advance?
Thanks for all your inspiration…

Your cupcakes & website are absolutley stunning.

Do you have a cupcake recipe you can share with us? Ive tried a few vanilla ones that have turned out very dry.

Do you bake from scratch or use cake mix?

Patricia: Thank you…..

Shaaron: any kind of icing is sweet of tasting. Mostly because its often is made with icing sugar. I dont think that the rolled fondant or MMF is hard to cut in.
Now some rolled fondant brands taste better than others but most of the times I experience that people just peel the fondant off the cake.

With the IMBC under the fondant it taste really nice.

Marielba, Eugene & Cakebreak: Thank you all

These are adorable. ALMOST too cute to eat. I am curious about something and hopefully you can let me know the answer. I have never eaten fondant of any kind, rolled or poured. When covering a cake, is the rolled kind easy to cut through and what is the taste like when combined with the buttercream crumb coat, the cake and filling? Is it sweet like a royal icing? Thank you and I love your site.

Hi there! WOW! I can’t believe all of your sweet comments! I followed the Food Processor Poured Fondant recipe from The Cake Bible. I made up some simple syrup to thin the re-heated fondant to proper consistency. Also, I didn’t let the re-heated fondant go above 105 degrees or it can lose its sheen. I had to put the heat on and off and keep it stirred or it starts to crust on top. I may try something electric to keep water hot and do a double boiler method. Actually if you are fast enough it may not be an issue. You do have to make the fondant recipe up at least 24 hours ahead and then re-heat what you need. It seems intimidating but really it’s not.

I was not actually that thrilled with the actual cake. It was a white cake recipe that I used and I thought it was a tad dry. Fresh out of the oven I didn’t think so. Maybe I can post the recipe and Louise can suggest how to make it more moist? I used an apple corer and put some white chocolate mousse (white choc. inst. pudding and pastry cream) inside. I heard others say that they didn’t have good results with a filler/bismark tip.

I followed Louise’s tutorials in how to actually do the dipping, etc. And also used her suggestion of the brushed on jam first and then let it dry. Of course her pictures were pure inspiration.

Let me know if I should post the cake recipe anyway… Patricia from Sunny CA
