Fondant yields a smoother appearance than buttercream, which tends to have character in the form of bubbles and swirls. Fondant also will stand on display for longer periods of time without sagging.

While both frostings are delicious, there is a difference. Butter cream is a much heavier, sweeter frosting because it primarily consists of butter and powdered sugar. Delicious! See similar questions...

Buttercream is a mixture of butter, sugar and eggs used to fill and frost cakes. We make our buttercream "Swiss meringue" style, which is light and fluffy in texture (never grainy or too sugary). See similar questions...

If you like candy, you'll love our homemade fondant! Fondant is a type of sugar dough that is rolled out and draped over a buttercream-iced cake and creates a porcelain-smooth finish. Fondant cakes can be embossed, imprinted, painted on and piped on with icing and can also be tinted any color. Fondant also keeps the cake moist. As with all our other components, we make our fondant from scratch. Unflavored, it tastes like marshmallow; but can be flavored to suit your taste (e.g. See similar questions...

Fondant is a smooth sugar dough used on the outside of the cake to give a smooth porcelain texture. It can be colored to match any shade you want. It is rolled out and laid over the iced cake as a decorative finish. The taste is sweet and does not interfere with the cake's flavorings... it's like the sweet sugar taste of a marshmallow.

Fondant is a sweet sugar icing that has the consistency of sugar cookie dough. It is rolled out like a pie crust and draped over a cake which has been first coated in buttercream frosting. This method has been used in Europe for years and is gaining in popularity here in the USA. Additional expense is incurred because we are icing your cake twice, first with the layer of buttercream and then the fondant. It is more labor intensive therefore it costs more.

The cake is first torted, meaning that it is cut into layers, then it is filled with buttercream or your choice of filling. It is then covered in your choice of buttercream and draped in fondant. See similar questions...

Because our trademark is our French Buttercream Icing, we do ice all of our cakes with our buttercream icing. We have certain cake designs, such as Claire, Lady Di, Silk Symphony and Patricia, which use fondant draping/ribbons as a beautiful and unique decoration. However, we do offer fondant-covered cakes. Our fondant-covered wedding cakes are still iced with our buttercream but a very thin layer of fondant enrobes the cake to create a sleek, seamless look. See similar questions...

Unfortunately fondant gets a bad rap because the one brand of fondant that is most readily available nationwide tastes... well... like feet. It's kind of like eating brussels sprouts and then deciding "I hate vegetables", when really you have only tried the worst of the bunch. See similar questions...

Quality of components, construction and optics. While all models are based on the same technology, each type of microscope employs different construction, size, optical quality, magnification power and method of use. Since the end test results should be basically identical with all models, selection becomes a matter of preference. Additionally, overall quality of components generally tend to correlate with ease of use and successful results. See similar questions...

On Buttercream Icing we have had no problems with colors running provided condensation is not allowed to build on the cake surface. With Whipped Cream Icing we recommend refrigeration. You might consider adding a touch of pudding or other thickening agent to your recipe to assist in retaining form. For fondant/pettinice application spread a skim layer of thin icing or glaze (or spray a fine mist of water) over the fondant surface to moisten & assist in the merging of your Icing Sheet image.

The biggest indicator is how well your dog moves and how much its level of activity increases. The better your dog's joints feel, the more they are going to move them. Dogs that laid around most of the time will begin to walk more, perhaps even start running and playing. Just watch your dog and see how their level of activity changes and how easily it gets around. You will be able to tell when they're feeling better. See similar questions...

A study compared four different calcium alginate dressings (Algosteril, Comfeel Alginate, Kaltostat and Sorbsan) with respect to wound fluid retaining ability, adherence, dressing residues, epithelialisation and inflammatory cell infiltration using a standardised partial-thickness wound model in domestic pigs. Wound fluid spread laterally onto surrounding normal skin by about 40% more with Sorbsan than with the other alginate dressings after 24h (P = 0.026). See similar questions...
