I am using MMF for the first time I am using the Easy MMF recipe from this site. I am almost ready to place the fondant on the cake. I have never done any kind of fondant before I have read that for regular fondant you put a layer of butter cream on prior to the fondant is this the same for MMF?

Thanks for your help

Yup! Treat MMF just like regular fondant.

I did my first MMF cake as well tonight to practice. What is the layer of buttercream underneath for? I tried without and it worked good ( I think!)

It will help lock in the moisture as well as give it a smooth base underneath. Some people cover the cake with warmed preserves instead as well.

And for those people that don't love the taste of MMF, it helps assist in making the cake taste better

Thanks for the quick response. When I finish the cake I will be sure to post a pic.

I am anxious to see your pictures. Can you tell me how much MMF you made? I also use the Easy MMF recipe from this site. I buy the Jet Puffed Marshmallow Creme and it is only 13 oz so I have to adjust the recipe.

I will need to cover a single layer 10" cake, double layer 8" and a single 4" with a mini wondermold on top of that.
