Is it possible to use a sponge cake rather than a rich fruit cake?
Answers to your sugarcraft and cake decorating questionsAlmost certainly. The only thing to be aware of is if the sponge is very light e.g. fatless sponge, the combined weight of sugarpaste and marzipan, can compress the cake resulting in a misshapen finish. Replace the marzipan with buttercream. If the cake is to be tiered remember to dowel the cake properly.* It sounds as if the filling you are using is too soft and the weight of the icing is forcing it to bulge out at the sides. This can also happen if too much filling is used.
Related QuestionsCan I freeze a rich fruit cake?
Answers to your sugarcraft and cake decorating questionsYes, although after baking, a rich fruit cake can be stored (wrapped and boxed) in a cool, dry, dust free environment without the need for freezing. Store for up to 2-3 months. It is vitally important that the conditions for storage are excellent and the cake is properly cooked.* Plastic containers can create humid conditions especially when the weather is hot or the storing conditions are unsuitable.
Related QuestionsWhy use oasis? Why not use a sponge?
Cigar Smoker's FAQThe many holes in oasis material mean a greater effective surface area. This means a smaller humidifier is able to do the same work as a larger one using other materials. Natural sponges are much more prone to contamination and should not be used. Good quality synthetic sponges are a reasonable alternative IMHO (although your credo might need to be a little larger than if you used oasis).
