Faux Fondant–Paper Towel Method
Did you know that you could get the same amazing look of fondant from buttercream? I LOVE working with fondant. I love how it looks on the cake. But I do not enjoy the flavor at all, so this tip was a great find for me!
Here’s what you do…
First, use crusting buttercream icing and smooth out what you can with icing spatula. Let dry for about 15 mins. to form a crust. (This won’t work with icing that doesn’t crust)
Lightly place plain paper towel (like “Viva”) on area to be smoothed & gently rub with the palm of your hand. The warmth of your hand will soften icing just enough to smooth out any bumps ridges. You can also use “fondant smoother” on top of paper towel. You’ll be amazed at how smooth the surface gets!
