Frequently asked questions
How can I prevent fondant from cracking when covering a cake?
Knead the fondant for 2 to 3 minutes to soften it before rolling. Roll it out to a thickness of 4-5 mm on a worktop dusted with icing sugar and smooth from the center toward the edges without trapping air bubbles. If cracks appear, smooth them with your finger and a drop of water.
Why use ready-to-use black fondant instead of coloring white fondant?
Black is the most difficult shade to achieve by hand kneading: FUNCAKES ready-to-use fondant guarantees an even intensity straight out of the package, without hours of kneading.
How long can a covered cake be stored?
2 to 3 days at room temperature (15-22 °C), protected from humidity and direct light. Do not refrigerate: fondant sweats and becomes sticky when exposed to the cold.
