Quick icing question...

Do you have to use Almond icing under white fondant? Could I put the fondant straight onto the cake?

Thanks

Hi, you can put the fondant straight on. Mix up a sticky glue with a lump of fondant and some boiling water. Paint on the cake and place rolled out fondant on top. Many people dont like the taste of almond. If the cake is going to be stored for a while the almond helps it keep.

After watching Cake boss and Ace of cakes. They all seem to "dirty ice" their cakes which is a covering of buttercream, made ultra smooth, then they lay on the fondant.
