Question

How do I make fondant?

Maryanne Snelling

Community Answer

I make my fondant by melting marshmallows in the microwave with a pad of butter. Then I mix in a ton of powdered sugar. I keep adding sugar until I get the consistency I need.

Question

Should this cake be refrigerated after it has been assembled or is buttercream okay to sit out at room temperature overnight?

Community Answer

It is okay to leave it out at room temperature overnight. However, if you put your cake in the fridge overnight, the buttercream will become firmer.

Question

How do I print a copy of the template?

Community Answer

Enlarge the template until the results are about 9 inches wide. Computer paper is only 8 1/2 inches wide, but you can draw in that last half inch if needed by adding a little strip of paper on one side of your template.
