Why are fondant cakes so expensive?

The production process of fondant cakes is troublesome, and the overall shape is three-dimensional and beautiful. It has a long shelf life. It is generally used for wedding tables and business openings. Although some cakes do not look so grand and spectacular, their prices are the same as multi-layer cakes. The same thing happens when you see a cake with an unusual and gorgeous appearance.

Then it is most likely a fondant cake, because only fondant cakes can create extremely exquisite shapes. It is different from the cream cakes we usually eat. It uses fondant instead of common fresh cream, covers the surface of the cake, and is decorated with various sugar-sculpted cartoons, flowers, animals, etc.

The cakes made are like exquisite and gorgeous works of art, very eye-catching. First of all, the fondant cake is most intuitively different from our common wedding cakes in the past, because it is covered with a layer of sugar crust. It is a shaped cake made of sugar in appearance. Handmade dough icing is much more expensive than buttercream. Mainly because it involves a lot of labor. Dough icing is special because it is a labor-intensive product. How to accurately use sugar crust to make cakes requires consideration of many factors, the most important of which is air humidity, because sugar will melt when it meets water.

In rainy weather, it is usually difficult to make fondant cakes and even more difficult to preserve them. Businesses usually turn on air conditioners day and night, and use moisture absorbers to ensure a constant indoor temperature and reduce moisture. It takes a lot of time and effort to complete the production process.

In this era of competition for appearance, it is not enough for a cake to be delicious.

Fondant not only refreshes the appearance of cakes to new heights, but also doubles their value instantly.

That’s because of its production process. Fondant originated from the United Kingdom. Buckingham Palace weddings and other events basically use fondant cakes. You can imagine how valuable it is. Furthermore, the number of employees is small. Fondant cake is a high-level skill in the baking industry, and ordinary bakers do not have this ability. It requires not only aesthetics, but also imagination and design capabilities. ?
