Theresa Happe replied to Connie DeGood's discussion wedding cake issues with fondant"The heat definitely causes the air bubbles. I know it's a pain and it takes longer, but I just keep putting the cake back in the fridge when it's hot."
Denise replied to Connie DeGood's discussion wedding cake issues with fondant"I use Satin Ice and am in Texas. We have days in the summer that are fairly humid. One tip that I can provide is to chill your cake thoroughly between the Crumb Coat and the Fondant stage. Here is my cake schedule:
Day One- 1. Bake and Cool…"

Deah replied to Connie DeGood's discussion wedding cake issues with fondant"Hopefully Jeri C will chime in here. She uses Satin Ice but she's in a different part of the country so the weather is different.
You might want to try this-- Day 1 - Bake your layers, Day 2 - cover with BC, Day 3 - cover with fondant.
This…"

Deah replied to Connie DeGood's discussion wedding cake issues with fondant"Here's a couple of questions, Connie.
What kind of fondant are you using? MMF, homemade, purchased (brand)?
What is your timeline between baking, buttercream and fondant?
This info may help others answer your question."

Okay! I am missing something! I have made several cakes in which the customer requested vanilla fondant. the problem is after a few minutes have passed.. air pockets begin to surface. I use a very small pin to puncture but it just keeps coming back. One of the tiers icing totally fell to the bottom of the cake and i have no idea how or why. I am in the Houston area and the humidity was high on Friday and Saturday. I dont mind using fondant.. i always prefer buttercream with a smooth finish but…See More

Erica said… - That's really great. You will do fine, your cakes are beautiful. No, I have never been to that store in Bissonet, but thanks for telling me. Maybe I will check it out later. Do they have a webpage?

- Hi Connie, that's great someone else from Houston. Thank you for your compliment. Your cakes are good too. I took one beginner class in the sugarland area at the cake craft shoppe, maybe you know where it is. I didn't take anymore since my husband is unemployed, so I started to watch youtube and the internet is very helpful. How did you start? Are you selling your cakes?

Kathy Kmonk said… - Connie, thank you very much. I took the first Wilton Course to learn how to make roses and then I taught myself how to make the rest. I used Wilton's book, "Tiered Cakes" as my guide and there are many wonderful videos on Youtube that are quite helpful, also.
