# Cream Cake vs Fondant Cake – Which Should You Choose?

**Is cream cake better than fondant cake?**

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.
