Buttercream or Fondant?
The first thing you need to decide when choosing the perfect cake is Fondant or Buttercream.
Buttercream is a more popular option offering a relaxed look which goes amazing with fresh flowers. It can be dressed up as a naked or semi naked cake, or include gold leaf, drips and even macarons.
Fondant is more traditional and offers a lot more options when it comes to the finer details such as different stencils.
In the Melbourne summer time Buttercream is the safer option, however with carefully planned delivery and keeping all cake types in the fridge they will be just fine.
