When Ace of Cakes was super popular on Food Network, all I could think about was how the cakes looked super cool but must have tasted absolutely horrible. Imagine paying $1200 for a neat looking cake… that’s 5 days old and covered in about a pound of flavorless nasty fondant. It’s impossible for what they made on that show to be anything but stale and horrible tasting

This. Plus, the basic rule is that fondant is used on cakes in lieu of tastier icings (like buttercream) because fondant’s main purpose is decoration. But any cake that’s “strong enough” to hold all of your fondant decoration without falling apart is a cake that’s not concerned about being delicious. Most majorly-fondant-decorated cakes that I’ve ever had are dry, dense, and lacking in flavor.
