My recent birthday cake order sparked a fondant versus buttercream debate.
I used fondant to get that sleek, professional look for a client's cake. But at the party, kids just peeled it off and left it. Buttercream is delicious and everyone eats it, but it doesn't hold sharp edges in humid weather. For my next project, I'm torn between what looks good and what tastes good. I see other bakers choosing sides online. What's your view? Do you go for fondant's style or buttercream's flavor?
