Recommended use
The coating material includes a cream with a low water content. Suitable examples include butter cream, butter and flour mash cream, custard cream with butter or ganache. Whipped creams with mascarpone, cottage cheese, sour cream or yoghurt are not suitable. This is because fondant materials mainly contain sugar, and this, in combination with the water contained in the mentioned ingredients, causes the coating to start to dissolve and the liquid then flows out around the circumference of the cake.
The mixture should be at room temperature. Cut off the desired amount of mixture and knead until it is soft and elastic.
If the mixture has a stiffer consistency, you can heat it in the microwave for 5-10 seconds.
Then roll the dough out into a sheet about 4 mm thick. To prevent the dough from sticking, you can sprinkle it with powdered sugar or starch. The size of the sheet should be slightly larger than the diameter of the cake plus the height of the cake. You can transfer it to the cake in three ways. Either pick up the sheet with your hands, or roll it onto a rolling pin, or if you roll it out on thick plastic wrap or a silicone mat, lift it up using the mat, turn it over onto the prepared base, and remove the plastic wrap or silicone.
Then just smooth it out with pastry irons and cut off the excess.
Store the material in plastic bags and sealed containers to prevent it from drying out and hardening.
The substance is gluten-free.
