Cream Cake vs Fondant Cake – Which Should You Choose?
For taste, yes: cream, ganache and fruit are soft and light, while fondant is dense and very sweet. Fondant is only better for sculpted shapes. That is why we bake without fondant.
Taste
Cream cakes have a soft, fresh taste. Fondant is chewy and sugary and is usually peeled off.
Look
Fondant gives a perfectly smooth, sculpted look. Cream and ganache give a natural, elegant finish with piping, drip, fruit and toppers.
Storage in Surat's weather
Cream cakes should stay cool and be served fresh. We bake and deliver on the same day for this reason.
