This is just a suggestion, but you should get an HD camera. It's just so your viewers can get a real good look at what your doing.

@JulietteXRawr We have gotten an HD camera--the latest videos are in HD.

if the cake is kept in a cake container and covered, will the fondant remain soft>

[CakeSuppliesPlus]

@ConcreteRoseKei Softer than it would without the covering, but when the package is opened, it would start to harden again. But since it is next to moist buttercream and cake, the underside will never harden. It will just have an outer crust that can easily be cut through.

Oh i love the way you said "pizza" at 4:45 :D

@ConcreteRoseKei Yes, fondant begins to harden as soon as the cake is covered--this is what causes cracks and elephant skin on cakes that are not covered quickly enough. Since the underside of the fondant is next to the moisture of the buttercream and then the cake, the underside of the fondant stays soft.

@ConcreteRoseKei Fondant does not require refrigeration. Refrigeration depends on whether the cake or filling needs refrigeration. If a cake (covered with either fondant or buttercream) is refrigerated, condensation will form on the icing (like on the outside of a glass of ice water) if the air is humid. You can avoid this partially by placing the cake in a cake box then the box placed in a plastic bag before refrigeration--and the bag not opened until the cake is at room temp.

are fondant cakes supposed to be refrigerated? and does the fondant ever get hard?
