The cakes we use are butter cakes (think Sara Lee pound cake), as opposed to sponge cakes (think chiffon cake) which are normally used for cream cakes. Butter cakes are sweeter, richer and heavier on the tongue and stomach. The reason I use butter cakes is because they are denser and more tightly crumbed which makes them easier to sculpt and it holds the weight of fondant better.
Therefore, when serving guests, we recommend serving small slices, as fondant cakes are generally much sweeter than normal off the rack fresh cream and sponge cakes.

Frosting (the stuff between the fondant and cake):
We use dark chocolate ganache (55% to 70% cocoa)*** for frosting as opposed to butter cream. Dark chocolate works better for our humidity, as it doesn’t cause the fondant to “sweat”.
** What is Buttercream?
Buttercream is a mixture of butter, sugar and eggs used to fill our cakes. Our buttercream is done "Italian meringue" style, which is light and fluffy in texture. It is different from freshly whipped cream, which cannot hold up once taken out from the refrigerator.
*** What is Ganache?
Ganache is a rich, thick chocolate filling made from melted dark chocolate and cream. We use ganache as a frosting instead of buttercream because the former holds up better in our type of humidity and weather, and it gives a cleaner and smoother finishing.
