So, a quick question...what...i can't think of the word for it...weight, I guess?...of cake do you use to make the pillow cake? Can it be a lighter cake, or heavier like a pound cake?

Thanks much!

@LaRire it should be a denser type of cake like pound cake, but it doesn't have to be pound cake

@catwomanL the fondant i buy is very tasty. no aftertaste and easy to work it. it's from europe. doesn't have any aftertaste and doesn't smell like playdoh like some others that are available. i havent tried marshmallow fondant

@MegaK1983 You can make the fondant yourself. It's very easy and taste a lot better then the fondant you can buy.

@MegaK1983 Hello! Yep you sure can! I don't much about marzipan, but I know you can roll it out like fondant and color so I don't see why you couldn't use it. Let me know if it works!
