Fondant Smash Cake?

I won’t use any fondant on the smash cake at all. I’ve seen my niece choke on a piece of fondant and she was 3. Even if it is soft, fondant is still fairly chewy and doesn’t dissolve that quickly. I’ve seen smash cakes with it, I just wouldn’t do it. If the hat won’t work in BC, then maybe you can alter the design. Your work is so great though, I’m sure you can pull it off in BC. Good luck.

Maybe you could just do the red stripes in fondant and that way the child would be able to get to SOME cake with just buttercream…good luck!

I was planning on painting on the red and black accents so everything is flush and smooth. Has anyone ever painted onto frozen buttercream? I’m wondering if the color will take or if it will just bead up and run.

You will have condensation on your buttercream and your painted colors will smudge and bleed. Not a good idea
